Modern Slavery Mural in Great Yarmouth

Inspired by a Southend anti-slavery mural painted in 2019, Park Baptist Church and Imagine Norfolk Together commissioned a painting for Great Yarmouth to raise awareness of the issue locally. The work was produced by artist Nik Vaughn.

The mural depicts four of the most common industries where modern slavery occurs: carwashes, nail bars, construction and domestic work, and is accompanied by a plaque with further details from the Clewer Initiative on how to spot the signs of the problem.

The mural was unveiled on Anti-slavery day (18th October) by Rev. Dr Dan Pratt who founded The Together Free Foundation, and who is editor of the book "Slavery-free Communities: Emerging Theologies and Faith Responses to Modern Slavery."

The mural can now be seen on the wall of the Middlegate / Michael Blank hut on Townshend Close.
