George’s Street, Newbridge is at the heart of the busy country town and is located midway along the Main Street running North West between it and Eyre Street. Some time ago, well-known artist Ann Meldon Hugh was commissioned to create a number of sculptures depicting the tradition of trade in the town. The original plan was to mount this pieces on the building facades but it was later decided that they would gain more prominence if they were displayed in cases along the street.

The cases are constructed from plate stainless steel and toughened glass to produce a minimalist aesthetic, parallel in material quality to the works themselves. The simplicity of their design offers no competition nor distraction to the works of art while keeping them safe from the elements and any unwanted attention from the public.
Our s83 seat and bench with bush hammered stone ends along with the s16.2 litter bin was the chosen street furniture for the scheme.
