Newbury Time-Line Mosaic
On Monday 9 May 2005, the Newbury Time-Line Mosaic was unveiled.
This piece of community art was the brainchild of the Mayor of Newbury for 2004-2005, Councillor Mike Rodger, and executed by local artist Paul Forsey with assistance from more than 4000 local people and the support of numerous local businesses.
The largest benefactor was Greenham Common Trust.The mosaic depicts scenes from the history of Newbury over the last 1000 years on 12 linking panels.
A copy of the DVD showing the making and unveiling of the Mosaic is available from the Town Hall for a small administrative fee, but for the full effect – you really should visit the mosaic itself, which can be found adjacent to Newbury Library, on the Wharf.
