Bluebells Blossom at Thringstone Primary School!

‘Bluebells are just brilliant!’

A project inspired by ‘The Bluebell Line’ The railway constructed between 1881 and 1883 between Coalville and Loughborough. The line was known as the ‘Bluebell Line’ due to the flower growing along much of the length of the line during the spring.

I am delighted to share just a few of the fantastic thank you’s that I received from the children of Year 6 at Thringstone Primary School ! It was lovely to capture elements of village history with emulsion transfer and paint techniques and then spend two afternoons painting the famously beautiful Thringstone bluebells!
