'She's a local hero and a great role model for young people'
Up to five “interactive murals” are set to be created in Glasgow’s “forgotten ward” in a bid to demonstrate its rich and diverse history.
The first subject will be Winifred Joyce 'Winnie' Drinkwater, who lived in Cardonald, and who was just 17 when she qualified at the Scottish Flying School in Renfrew. Speaking about the project, councillor Wilson said: “We are going to create around five interactive murals in Cardonald which will have a QR code on them that links you to a site with the history behind it. There will also be historical clips acted out by the members of SWAMP.
“Local pupils will then be able to learn about Winnie Drinkwater, who she was and how she was a pioneer for women.” He said: “I think this mural is a great one to start off with as a local hero and role model for the young people of Cardonald and all who pass by.
