St Richard’s Catholic College and Battle Abbey Prep school students were asked to design artwork to be displayed on the hoarding at David Wilson Homes’ Rosewood Park development, situated on Barnhorn Road, Bexhill.

The theme for the artwork ‘Why We Love Bexhill’ encouraged students to take inspiration from the local area for their designs.

More than one hundred entries were received.
