Numbered Paving Stones - What are they all about?

[Acker79]

I've noticed at various points in town, there are number blocks in the pavement. Anyone know what that's about?

This one is along that side road from Aldi's to the Level beside Macdonald's:




This one is near the bottom of the road that goes from the level to upper lewes road:



There's also one by Brighton City College.

Access points to some sort of pipework or cabling I would guess.

I read about these in the Argus - its an art project of some kind I think.

They are the amount you will get in compensation if you sue the Council when you trip over them because you are too stupid to watch where you are walking.

Not that the claims culture these days is a pet hate of mine, you understand

Possibly trial holes dug out to create a route for to be installed service?

Well I hope it is not a "replace broken paving with matching slabs" project.

"The latest Brighton art installation has neither inspired me or caused delight. "

Except it inspired you to right an article about it in the local paper.


Thanks for the answers!

1:1 scale painting by numbers?

Al least it isn't in your face, unless you trip up of course!

I thought so, too, but it turns out they are an 'art installation'. What a waste of money! This is what I wrote about them in the Argus http://wp.me/pDTWu-P9

Any idea how much it cost?

If you tread on them in the right order then a secret portal opens up

Sorry, I don't but I'm sure someone will ask / the Council will tell.

A project has taken the old slabs that formed the base of the recently taken down Taxi rank stand at St Peters/York Place, I imagine it may once have been a building of some purpose, and created a stone circle around the London Road area, I imagine highlighting places and events that have been influential.

If my leg allows me I shall walk around our new stone circle celebrating the area, perhaps like most stone circles it should have an avenue out to another place (the Amex) and a stone placed by the NS.

I look forward to the mentioned wikipedia page/information on line about the positioning of the stones going live.

It's been devised by the council as a way to get yourself home after a night on the lash. Unfortunately not enough thought put into this, as there were 73 of us banging on some poor buggers door at 3.00 a.m this morning. Many still waving blue and white scarves.

Well ... I think it's a nice little project that does no harm and adds to the mix of Brighton oddities that make the place stand out from other rather dull towns.

And if we all gather at the corner of Baker street on winter solstice the pagan overlords will guarantee us a play off place at the minimum.
