News Brief

Show Gardens, Black Walls and Politics

Full Story:

Specialist Aggregates have been featured in the award winning Shine Garden for Cancer Research at this weeks RHS Tatton Park Flower Show in Cheshire.

Designer Mary Hoult explained that the garden celebrates the charity's sponsored city night walk, "Shine Manchester".

Contemporary Manchester is suggested by angular shapes of black brickwork and glass block walling enhanced with the gleam of perspex and steel. Winding between the walls a black pathway leads to a shining water feature set in a tranquil pool.

Interesting, what is probably the most famous black wall in the country, the front facade of Downing Street in London, is not black at all. During renovation works in the early '60s it was discovered that the bricks used in the construction were in fact yellow but had become stained black through over 200 years of pollution. The bricks are now painted black to maintain the appearance of this iconic building.

Our images show the Shine Manchester garden, together with a contemporary black painted reclaimed brick wall by Greenvision Garden Design.
