A woman dubbed the ‘Banksy of knitting’ has teamed up with Wirral residents to create a trail of post box toppers to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Earlier this month, the ECHO revealed that Sandra Birch, 59, from Wallasey, was behind a series of crocheted toppers that had been mysteriously appearing across the region. And now Sandra has joined forces with the Wallasey Village in Bloom group and Wallasey Girl Guides to put together a commemorative display of nine toppers ahead of next weekend’s festivities.
Valerie Hemmingway, a member of Wallasey Village in Bloom, told the ECHO: “We’re a group of volunteers who have transformed Wallasey village with our floral planting. Some of us like knitting and crocheting and so a sub-group emerged where we all joined forces to make post box toppers.”
