The Mall, City of Westminster
London, September 2001
“The surface of The Mall has been coloured red since the 1950s giving the effect of a giant red carpet leading up to Buckingham Palace. This colour was obtained using synthetic iron oxide pigment from Deanshanger Oxide Works (Deanox), which was created using the Deanox Process devised by chemist Ernest Lovell. David Eccles, as Minister of Works from 1951 to 1954, chose the colour.” (The Mall, London, Wikipedia)
