Did you know ... 🔍

Over the weekend, Disney celebrated the 30th anniversary of their animated 90s classic The Hunchback of Notre Dame with this year also celebrating 195 years since the original novel was first published by Victor Hugo in 1831.

Written to save the neglected Cathedral from demolition, The Hunchback of Notre Dame became an instant classic, sparking a nationwide movement to protect the building. In 1845, architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc began a massive 25-year restoration project, adding the famous gargoyles and the central spire.

This illustration by Luc-Olivier Merson from 1881 depicts the Galerie des Chimères on the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, featuring the iconic gargoyles.

The mural at Mexborough Library is coming to life beautifully, and we’re loving every moment of it! 🤩✨

It’s been fantastic chatting with everyone who’s been popping by to watch the progress. We’re especially excited to see the words of local poet Ian Parks becoming part of the artwork, weaving Mexborough’s voice directly into the walls of its library.

If you’re nearby, come take a look. We can't wait to see the mural completed.
