It was built by John Laing & Son Limited between 1969-1973 and was constructed using pre-cast concrete panels and in-situ concrete. In 1974 it received the Concrete Award from the Concrete Society. The English sculptor William Mitchell (born 1925) was commissioned to create 14 panels showing the Stations of the Cross, depicting Jesus on the day of his crucifixion. These panels were created in Faircrete, a fibrous concrete which could be moulded like potters clay.
