100 YEARS 100 FACES MURAL

In 2025 Terry was surprised and delighted to learn that he had been selected for inclusion on the huge mural '100 Years 100 Faces'. The mural features 100 portraits to honour the people who have shaped the city's cultural identity. 

The mural was painted on the gable end of a building which, at one time, was a pub called the Star Inn, in Marsh Street, Hanley.

The mural features 100 portraits. The artwork was commissioned by the Stoke-on-Trent City Centre BID (Business Improvement District - an organisation supporting and promoting the city centre) and created by local artists Rob Fenton @thisisrobfenton and Alastair Barnett @abarnett.artist.

They painted a mural that 'feels contemporary but is deeply rooted in the city's heritage'. It was unveiled to the public on Saturday 13th September 2025.

Yours truly is absolutely delighted at being nominated and selected for inclusion in the mural. I can be seen top right and just left of the flame of the Olympic torch.  The depictions of the bottle ovens were based on my paintings. On the far top left is the Conway Pottery in Fenton (now demolished). On the far top right is the award winning Gladstone Pottery Museum in Longton.
