He painted murals in the Tea Room of the Pavilion, and possibly some designs for the Ballroom and Bar too. It is not yet known if these murals survive underneath the later cladding, plaster and layers of paint. If they do, they will be the only known surviving examples of Ravilious's mural work, and as such are of national importance.

The Pavilion Tea Room mural

The overall decorative scheme of the new Pavilion was the work of Mary Adshead, daughter of the building's architect Professor Adshead. Mary is quoted as saying:
"Eric painted all around the stage with marine subjects, shells, seaweed etc. I know that my father was very pleased with his design, he said that Eric had understood what was wanted and had an architectural sensitivity. The people at Colwyn Bay for whom we were working, had booked Eric and me into a hotel, which turned out to be a sort of holiday home hotel, where parties from Lancashire came for the week - there was a turnaround on Saturday - it was all very matey and lively in a North Country way, with a social host to liven it up in the evenings. I remember Eric and I had a table to ourselves (we must have seemed fish out of water) and we were greatly amused by our fellow guests. I know I thought Eric excruciatingly funny at times and very good company; and of course then, as now, I greatly admired his work."

Ben Ravilious, Eric's grandson, is putting together a website:  www.ericravilious.co.uk

There was an exhibition recently at the Imperial War Museum of Ravilious's work, and there is a permanent collection at the Towner Art Gallery, Eastbourne. Further details are on the above website.
