Garden for Peace and mosaics. Cromer Street London WC1
Diane Leary and 20 members of Cromer Street Day Centre. 1986 The mosaic technique enables elderly members of the centre to undertake large or small sections of the design, according to their skills.
The four mosaics were the theme of peace and included, in the words of those who made the mosaics:
The poppies flowered in the horror of the trenches of WW1.
The dove is the most universal symbol of Peace.
The Crane is a symbol of peace in Japan, the only country to have suffered nuclear warfare.
The Peacock shows the beauty of the living world
