Amble Town Square :: NU2604

Completed in May 2001, transforming a previously run-down area of derelict buildings, the Town Square now provides a major focal point in the town for residents and visitors alike.

Features include:

The sundial - one of the largest in Europe and accurate to within 15 seconds!

A historic trail depicted in carved stones showing the images from the town's history taken from original designs by Amble school children.

An amphitheatre surrounded by nine 8 metre masts displaying sails and flags denoting the town's links with the sea, tourism and commerce.

Five of the six trees are dedicated to the schools in the town, the sixth tree has been designated 'The Town Tree'.

A feature garden remembers Muriel Usher, one of the town's characters, and two bench seats are dedicated to the memory of Dr and Mrs Robertson and Jesse Taylor.

The experts in bringing together this project included artist Bridget Jones, stonemason David Edwick, architects Jane Darbyshire and David Kendall Ltd. plus local construction company D P Builders.
