Harry Potter map inspires Dunstable street art trail

The Marauder's map in the Harry Potter books has been the inspiration for a town's art trail, according to the BBC. Dunstable's Invisible Street Art Trail has black and white maps showing more than 20 artworks on pavements that are only revealed in the rain.

Primary school teacher and artist Claire London used pavement stencils which were created with a spray that only becomes visible when wet.

Joanne Bowes, one of the people behind the trail, said she hopes it will get people interested in the town's history.

The works include: Mad Hatters, to represent the hat factories that used to be along the High Street; Footprints, for remembrance, next to the Priory Church; Lions, a nod to the chalk lion that overlooks the Dunstable Downs.
