Keel Square
Keel Square is a new public space and boulevard based in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear, completed in 2015. Located to the North of the City Centre opposite the Vaux Site, the square is part of the larger St. Mary's Way redevelopment. The total cost of the project amounts to £11.8 million. A celebration of Sunderland's martime and industrial heritage, the square's name was decided by the city's residents.
==Design==
Keel Square was designed by Sunderland City Council’s in-house multi-disciplinary team led by Principal Landscape Architect Kevin Johnson. The central purpose of the square is to celebrate Sunderland's Maritime and Industrial Heritage. Thus to build upon such, the square will be constructed predominantly out of sandstone, granite and bronze.
Additionally, the square is being constructed to supplement the neighbouring Vaux Site in order to create a more attractive business environment in the city〔 As Sunderland Council Leader Paul Watson Quoted:
The square hosts a unique public art feature to embed the industrial past, known as “The Keel Line”. The start of the line is marked by the sculpture “Propellers of the City” designed by Stephen Broadbent,〔 containing names of those who worked in the Wear shipyards.〔 The “The Keel Line” structure represents the length of the “Naess Crusader” the largest ship ever launched on the Wear. It is further aligned by a strip of paving listing over 8,100 ships launched on the Wear and incorporate a series of illustrations recording the history of Sunderland by renowned graphic artist Bryan Talbot.〔
