New artwork for Driffield station
Three beautiful pieces of artwork have been installed at Driffield station. They were produced by talented year 12 students from Driffield School and Sixth Form. They have been installed at the exits from Driffield station to welcome people to the town as they leave the station. The project was led by station adopters Driffield in Bloom who worked collaboratively with the school. We (the YCCRP) were proud to sponsor and fund it.
