The British Olympic long-jumper Jade Johnson (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade_Johnson ) attended the Chestnut Grove Academy, and on the side of a sports building are pictures of her in full flight, imitating time-lapse photography. People not having business in the school can only see this mural from the train; the view is best in winter when the leaves are off the trees, but it is still almost impossible to photograph more than a fleeting glimpse. Edit: since this description was written, a new building has occupied the space between the mural and the railway line, rendering the mural (if it still exists) invisible from outside the school.
