An Eltham school has created the capital's first art gallery made entirely from shipping containers.

Situated at St Thomas More School, the SE9 Container Gallery is currently running an exhibition called 50 by artist Terri Hawkins until December 17.

And its next exhibition will feature work by artist Robert Priseman under the title Outlaws, featuring portraits of women who have been executed for murder.

Between 1900 and 2005 fifty women were executed in the USA, some as young as 17 - Outlaws reveals to the story of 36 of them. 

News Shopper:

A spokesman for the school said: "Built to benefit both the students of St Thomas More and the wider community, this brand new art facility is a centre for workshops and exhibitions and aims to be a creative hub for the community of south east London."
