Splashes and Sparkles

It’s all splashes and sparkles and plenty of civic bling at Henley Square now that the construction work is complete.

On a hot summer evening children play in the open-air water feature while an aerial light-show plays above.

People mingle after dinner in one of the restaurants discussing their meal, their day or choosing which bar to head on to.

As pretty as it all is now this wonderful civic facility has had its casualties. During construction businesses suffered, some did not recover.

I loved coming down here before and I love coming down here now. I’m really not sure if the pain was all worth it but I hope at least they keep Henley Square’s new bling polished, splashy and sparkling.
