Penshaw Monument - the original North East icon?
OK so Durham Cathedral (b.1133) may be a bit miffed at that statement but it is a working building. Penshaw Monument was completed in 1845, way before both the iconic Tyne and Wear Bridges (1925 and 1927 respectively) and The Angel of the North, is just a babe in arms by comparison. You could argue that Penshaw Monument is the original symbol of the North East.
Join me in this video as we climb Penshaw Hill (Pensher, if you're local) and take a look at the monument and talk about the history of the structure.
