Detail of the rainbow jewel~like spirals, representing that which is to be discovered in life. Embracing everything good or bad ~ there is no difference, we can learn from everything. |

Bottom section completed showing reversed; Scarborough Spa, Spa Bridge and The Grand Hotel This mosaic map was inspired by the Edward Bawden Map of Scarborough in Scarborough Library, and my own experience of amazement and fascination at seeing my first map of the town after moving here aged 8. The map at the time was displayed in the then entrance to the Children's Library and is now after considerable restoration work, on prominent display upstairs in the Library's Crush Hall.
