Public Square
The public square is surrounded by the original buildings from the old technical school that was home to such luminaries as Peter Stringfellow, and a dynamic new building fronting onto West Street. These buildings house 9 individual bars and restaurants and the 4 star hotel. The square is marked with an illuminated water feature and a tree lined square. Benches specially designed for the square have been cast by an artist out of Bronze and will provide resting places under the trees around the central square. The new angular building is built from locally sourced stone and genuine bronze cladding.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or square:
“We might make a public moan in the newspapers about the decay of conscience, but in private conversation, no matter what crimes a man may have committed or how cynically he may have debased his talent or his friends, variations on the answer “Yes, but I did it for the money” satisfy all but the most tiresome objections.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“Interpreting the dance: young women in white dancing in a ring can only be virgins; old women in black dancing in a ring can only be witches; but middle-aged women in colors, square dancing...?”
