Considering the The Ravensdene Lodge Hotel in Newcastle upon Tyne?

Grey's Monument by sandysmith
Grey's Monument, standing 135 feet high at the centre of Newcastle's shopping area has been a landmark meeting place for locals and visitors since its erection in 1838. It was built to commemorate the services of Charles, Earl Grey (1764-1845) who as Prime Minister was a tireless anti-slavery campaigner, steering the Great Reform Bill (1832) into law. I believe its actually possible to climb this monument via the 164 steps inside the column - must be a great view down Grey street and over Newcastle from up there.
