SECONDARY school pupils have made a timely contribution to a new exhibition.

Pupils from Blackheath High School, Vanbrugh Hill, Blackheath, designed a series of 3D Art Deco clocks as part of an art project.

The clocks went on display at Eltham Palace last week, during a four-day exhibition in the palace's Great Hall.

Pupils designed their clocks after being inspired by the Art Deco features at the 14th- century palace in Court Yard, Eltham, during a visit there last year.

Design teacher Mary Aspden said: "The students were fascinated by the palace's Art Deco features and the work it has inspired has been really impressive."
