Eric Rimmington designed and painted the mural in Trafalgar House, Edinburgh Road, which was saved from destruction by the Portsmouth Society. The mural, painted in 1949, depicts people in wartime Portsmouth standing on Portsmouth and Southsea station, unconsciously taking in their position in history.

An exhibition of his work, entitled, Eric Rimmington - Drawing a Line North Paintings and drawings - 1985 - 2000 takes place from 6-25 May at The Millinery Works, 87 Southgate Road, Islington, London N1 3JS. See www.millineryworks.co.uk or telephone 020 7359 2019 for details.
