Penshaw Monument
Penshaw
monument is one of the most famous view points in the wearside district.
The Monument was built in 1844, designed by John and Benjamin Green. It
is dedicated to John George Lambton, first Earl of Durham and the first
Governor of Canada. I don't think it took much of an imagination to design,
as there is something similar in Athens! There is a spiral stair case in
one of the columns that has now been sealed up. Tourists were taken up to
the top to a walk way that travels around the top perimeter, but a photographer
fell of and died. So the city sealed up the stair case to prevent this happening
again.
