A ceramic pavement to commemorate the birth of James Prescott Joule, who lived in Sale in the nineteenth century. The physicist, who has the unit of energy named after him, worked out a law concerning heat and resistance and established the important principle that heat and mechanical work are both forms of energy. He attended St Paul’s Church and was buried in Brooklands Cemetery following his death in 1889. The work was unveiled by Trafford Mayor Tom Ross, alongside children from St Joseph’s School. Moorlands, Worthington and Springfield primary schools were also involved with the project following visits by local scientist David Ward.
