Each mural was created with the specific mews in mind and the including the subject matter requests from the residents.</div> <div> The historical part of the Bellambi story is depicted in black and white segments to denote the 'past'. These segments cut through the coloured mural areas which represent the present showing their direct relationship to one another. Figures and birds move through the two areas showing the links between the history and present day.</div> <div> Inclusions of birds, other animals and people added life to the image and a definite sense of Bellambi.</div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="770f27f0.jpg" border=0 width="754" height="383" ALT="staithes mews" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">STAITHES MEWS </B>w 4.8m x h 2.4m</div> <div> <B>painted by Sam Newstead, Gwynn Farley and children of Bellambi </B></div> <div> Staithes mews theme , because of it's view, was focused on the 'escarpment' which can also be seen clearly from most of Bellambi.</div> <div> The mews residents wanted to see children playing in the mural, with a football and especially a swing set. The text scribed along the escarpment of the Staithes mural was a sentence taken from a passage written by an elderly participant of a workshop. </div> <div> The black and white section shows the indigenous culture, their totem, the whale swims off shore. An indigenous man crosses the line between past and present showing his relationship to then and now.</div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="772ad530.jpg" border=0 width="685" height="339" ALT="whitby mews" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> <B>WHITBY MEWS </B>w 4.8m x h 2.4m</div> <div> <B>painted by Sam Newstead, Gwynn Farley and children of Bellambi </B></div> <div> In<B> </B>Whitby mews the design and composition of the mural focused on the 'sea'</div> <div> Wayne, resident in the house onto which the mural was to be erected, was insistent on Bellambi ocean pools being included. </div> <div> The old ship SS.
