Focused on a memorable pedestrian experience, where meaningful places are woven into the journey.Through providing environments where people can have strong connections with nature, it seeks to reduce health inequality, lift spirits and improve lives.

The recent Covid-19 pandemic outbreak has created opportunities to creatively design public spaces such as the St. Cuthbert’s Greenway to cater for many users and their needs, especially for an individual and collective health.

More important than ever, is to create spaces for more physically distant activities - and this has become a focus of the ‘Woven Threads’ design. A creation of four lanes for different users based on speed of movement:

• Pedestrian only paths, that allow for slow movement with plenty of opportunities for seating and shelter. This zone allows for passive and ‘quiet’ relaxation.

• Running lanes shared with roller blading and skating. These have clearly marked measured distances, rest stops with drinking fountain stations, exercise and stretching zones with running loops, and skate ramps.

• Bike & electric scooter lane that allow for fast moving pace. This ‘thread’ incorporates bike shelters and stands, public bike pumps, and creates opportunities for a repair shop and cafe along the way.

• Horse riding track with gallop zones. This lane is sheltered from other users, have horse rest stops and gates at crossing points.

ONE GREENWAY:UNINTERRUPTED ROUTE

By championing environmental quality, activity and vitality - it will become a welcoming and exciting place for people and nature to share a common ground.

WOVEN THREADS PROJECTDRAWING SHEET 2 OF 2

The ‘Woven Threads’ concept for the created landscape responds to the sky. St. Cuthbert’s Greenway lies in close proximity to a major designated airway, therefore it is a design intent to explore how the site would look like from an aerial perspective of passing planes.

It plays with the patterns in the landscape referencing the past of cotton manufacturing, especially the technique of Calico-printing patterns and the first use of purple dye invented by Joseph Pattison and first applied to cotton yarn at Cummersdale by William Scott.

The purple Calico-Meadow patterns are designed by local school children and are woven into the Greenway along its entire length - acting as unifying thread and bee / pollinator highway. They sit proudly within the 28 metre Catton to Cummersdale’ (CC02) high-pressure gas pipeline and its easement.

The meadows are seeded by local residents / community groups by ‘seed bombs’ which aid pride and ownership, and provide seasonal landscape photography opportunities.

While the concept references the past it also looks into the future and creates design elements that give it structure and provide for recreation needs of the community.
