Unique natural stone hardscape revitalises high street
Pomery Natural Stone worked closely with Slough Council, six artists, the landscape architects and engineers to help complete this high street improvement scheme.

The Art at the Centre project for Slough Borough Council was a £4.5million, 5ha high street improvement scheme, designed and implemented over a 5-year period.
Work undertaken
Pomery Natural Stone worked closely with the Council, six artists, the landscape architects and engineers to help complete the scheme.
An integral part of the design brief was to develop proposals for a unique floorscape design that would draw all the individual design elements together. An interlocking module was designed, inspired by the town's art, historic and cultural background using black and white granite of varying flag sizes.
High-quality natural stone paving materials, bespoke granite benches, new lighting, artwork, open spaces, public plazas, and semi-mature tree planting were specified to dramatically change the high street's physical appearance and open it up to pedestrians and shoppers.
