The Angel of the North - From The West

The 'Angel of the North' by Athony Gormley

A panoramic hilltop site was chosen where the sculpture would be clearly seen by more than 90,000 drivers a day on the A1 - more than one person every second - and by passengers on the East Coast main line from London to Edinburgh. The Angel of the North at the head of the Team Valley now rivals that of the famous Tyne Bridge.

The site, a former colliery pithead baths synonymous with Gateshead mining history, was re-claimed as a green landscape during the early 1990s.The 'Angel of the North' by Athony Gormley looking at the front, taken from the South.
