Youths in Ballymoney, Co Antrim, have painted a colourful mural on an electricity substation.

The substation in the Seymour Drive area has been transformed after a community grant from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE).

The mural features an image taken from a photograph of Castle Street in Ballymoney, circa 1900.

Dessie Hanna from Castle Community Association, which led the project, said: "The electricity substation in Seymour Drive was very drab and had graffiti painted on it a number of years ago.

"This graffiti faces onto the railway line and gives a poor impression of our area. Children play on the grass areas beside the substation and a number of parents have asked us to undertake a project to remove this blight."
