WINDOW DISPLAY: Actress and artist Carol Dolton made a flying visit to Rolls-Royce’s Main Works factory to see for the first time the stained glass window that inspired one of her pieces.

Carol, who appeared in the R-R centenary play, Silver Ghosts and Spitfires, at the Derby Playhouse in the summer, saw a picture of the window while rehearsing.

She decided to paint an image of the window onto an old door, taken from a house in Bromley Street, Derby, which has survived Second World War bombings in the city.

But Carol, from Holloway, near Matlock, had never seen the real window, in the Main Works, Nightingale Road, until Friday.

She said: “I enjoyed doing this piece and would like to tackle something like it again in the future.”
