It has inspired a monument in a story I am writing, it is that special... we also recently released the ashes of our family dog around the tor.

that blue crane hire place near Peterlee? When i pass them blue cranes lined up i know i'm nearly home.

I stand by what I've said. The angel is large, unusual but still shit.

Penshaw is 10 times better. On Tyneside the Sage is a far better landmark.

Penshaw monument is shit, it looks like something my nana would have had on her mantelpiece, tacky pretend chintzy Greek shite covered in coal dust

A blot on the landscape

Is this another list of things the Mags have claimed.

There's a one on the motorway just south of J62 A690 for Durham and Sunderland.

In my navy days, seeing this sign on the long drive from Pompey or Guzz used to genuinely fill my heart with joy.

It's Penshaw Monument if I'm heading up to my folks' from down here. Coming back it's the line of f***ing endless cones on the M1

And sadly this is probably it if I'm heading to our house from further down south (ugly as fuck it is):

The Severn Trent Water works on the M1 is my half way marker when going back to SR6:

I don't think any view on Earth beats the approach in to Durham train station by rail though.

The angel is a bag of shite. It looks nowt like an angel. Just looks like what it is, a pile of rusty scrap welded together .

Penshaw Monument, Durham House and Houghton Cut. For me anyway.

Thats the boyo. The kids always knew there wasn't much of the journey left once they had seen the cut.

Penshaw rightfully mentioned in the latest list.

Brought a tear to the eye when I drove back a couple of weeks ago. Seen it all the way from Bowburn and up and around the back of Washington on my way to the Riviera.

Scotch Corner - back in God's country

Durham Cathedral - there's a bit on the A1 where you go down a dip and just catch a first glimpse of it in the distance. Heart warming.

Penshaw monument, of course - come hell or high water I can get home from here

and there's a signpost to on the A690 for Finchale Abbey that's one of my going home landmarks. For years it had - She's here Kate Bush - spray painted on it.
