OUR JOURNEY

This included the installation of an old iron textile cog wheel inlayed into a granite plinth and bespoke marker stones, inlayed metal and ceramic graphics within the hard landscaping works all produced at IP Surfaces to mark the external walls and layout of the historic Shudehill Mill.

Wayfinding totem signs incorporate a digital viewer within the middle section of the signs inside which house historical artefacts found from the initial extraction of the immediate local area enabling members of the public to view historical artefacts found across the site.

Sister company Hardscape supplied the hard landscaping materials for Angel Gardens consisting of their unique Kellen Lavaro Grijs 530 paving, Neland Triton UWF and Neland Lotis UWF tumbled clay paving together with Kobra granite bespoke anti-skate benches, etched and painted walling and corduroy tactiles.
