Subways under Hemel Hempstead’s ‘Magic Roundabout’ have been transformed into art and photography galleries as part of Hertfordshire County Council’s project to improve walking routes.

One subway, which starts at Moor End, features pieces from Dacorum Creatives Art Hub’s artists.

Dan Stobbs, a senior marketing executive for a learning disabilities charity, thinks the project is a fantastic initiative that has transformed the subways from bland to bold.

He said: “When I’ve been walking through, I’ve been amazed to see just how many people are stopping on their walks to admire the artwork that is on display.”

The project has been supported by Dacorum Borough Council and Hemel Hempstead BID.
