A rare chance to see a mural painted in 1935 for a Children's ward.

The only remaining visible part of a mural on the walls of the old Children’s Ward of Lyme Regis Cottage Hospital, now the Lyme Regis Nursing Home. Painted by Wyndham Payne in 1935 the mural was a gift to the hospital and town as thanks for the care of two children. Hidden under hardboard and paint for many years, it was rediscovered in November 2022. A lot of Wyndham’s work is now held by the Victoria & Albert Museum and his illustrations include the 1927 UK edition of Wind in the Willows.
