Overground Bridge and Allen Gardens link

Overground Bridge Lighting

The Overground bridge crossing is quite gloomy at night and we would like to illuminate it using projectors to throw light on its underside. This will create a pattern of lighting ‘threads’ running across the street to reflect the area’s long association with the textile industry, but the lenses of these projectors are adaptable and could also be used to celebrate specific events or changing themes over time.

Allen Gardens / Pedley St Link

We have been working with an artist and designer to develop new colourful pavement graphics that are based on the area’s long-standing weaving tradition. We will also be tidying up the scruffy planting and installing a more attractive fence along the railway edge and upgrading lighting to make this link to the Gardens feel more obvious, uplifting and safe.
