These mosaics are the conclusion of a long project creating local landmarks in the three Bedfordshire towns.
This has involved hundreds of local people from historical societies, workshop participants, council officers and Budd Mosaics but the whole scheme was initiated by Carolyn Blake, the creator of Story In Stone (www.storyinstone.org.uk), who conceived and initiated the project, ran all the community workshops and who has been the driving force that has resulted in such a successful outcome, before on-time and in budget!!.
