Newbury Timeline Mosaic


The brainchild of Councillor Mike Rodger (Newbury Mayor 2004/2005), the Newbury Timeline Mosaic has now been completed and unveiled to the public
.

The 12 plates outline 1,000 years of the town’s history, from the town’s founding by Ernulf de Hesdin to Jack of Newbury, and from the Civil War to the peace protests at Greenham Common. More than 4,000 people helped put in the pieces of the design by local artist Paul Forsey.

Visitors to the town can find the mosaic set into the pavement, on the canal side
of the central library in the Wharf.
