Stylish Town Centre Seating Unveiled for CastlefordStylish prototype furniture designed to take the leg work out of shopping in Castleford's new £1.1m town square, has been unveiled.
The furniture, designed by Hudson Architects with Leeds based manufacturers City Squared Ltd, is a key part of the town centre redevelopment scheme, which is currently underway.
The scheme has been funded by Wakefield Council, Yorkshire Forward and the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund.
The development of Castleford town square is part of The Castleford Project, the World's first televised regeneration project.
The Project is led by Wakefield Council with Channel 4, regeneration agencies and the community.
This is the eighth of 11 schemes to go on site and represents the second phase of improvements to the town centre.
Work began in 2005 with the relocation of the outdoor market from behind Carlton Lanes shopping centre, improving visibility of the market and invigorating market trade.
In collaboration with the artist Pierre Vivant, Hudson Architects have designed a public square at the heart of the town, making the area more pleasant for all those who visit and trade.
The framework for the square is a circle, which extends from the commercial centre in concentric waves into the wider environs of Castleford.
