The Happening @ Halton - with a few of us immortalised in clay

Part of the Halton pebble mosaic

Last weekend was The Happening @ Halton - a celebration at our soon-to-be local community centre to mark the official opening of its new state-of-the art skate park, Multi Use Games Area (MUGA), children’s play area and other facilities. The weather was fantastic, and a whole range of events, activities and competitions had the Centre buzzing all weekend.

Friday 8th July was the official opening of the facilities by David Morris MP. This included the formal unveiling of a beautiful pebble mosaic, created by local residents, including a few future Forge Bank cohousers, during a workshop with local artist Maggy Howarth back in February.

The mosaic illustrates the history of the River Lune and the people who have used it and occupied its banks over the ages, from Romans to current day. All of us who took part had a great time, and it's fantastic to see the end result in all its glory!
