The Project Team visited Albion Stone's Factory & Quarry to view production and select stone in August 1999. Bowers Lynham Whitbed was selected for the cladding and a test programme to include Saturation Co-efficient and Microporosity was established to ascertain durability of the Stone.

Albion Stone began the manufacturing programme of 170 cubic metres of Bowers Lynham Whitbed in random length panel sizes up to 1500mm x 750mm x 75mm during August with deliveries beginning in September 1999.

Portland Bowers Basebed was selected for the internal flooring with Albion supplying slab direct to Stone Developments to produce 1,000 square metres of finished tiles. Albion Stone also provided the foundation stone to Richard Kindersley for inscription prior to transport to site.

The project was completed in Spring 2000 at an estimated value of £12.5 million.
