 Guardian Angel by toonsarah
The Angel is on a grand scale. At 20 metres tall (65 feet) it is more than the height of four double decker buses, while its wings are 54 metres wide (175 feet) - almost as long as the wings of a Jumbo jet. It is made of a special weather resistant steel which contains copper. The surface oxidises to form a patina, which mellows with age to a rich red brown colour.

 The Angel Of The North by dazherg
The Angel of the North is a major attraction to visitors - about 150,000 a year are expected to stop to see the awe-inspiring sculpture close up. The scale cannot fail to impress them, at 20 metres (65 feet) it is more than the height of four double decker buses. Its wings are 54 metres (175 feet) wide - almost as long as the wings of a Jumbo jet. To people living and working nearby it appears on a much more human scale. Its silhouette at the head of the Team Valley is no more imposing than - but just as impressive as - other hilltop landmarks such as the Penshaw Monument.

 The Angel of the North by martyfrize
Not long after it was erected, someone climbed the great structure and drapped it in an Alan Shearer / Newcastle United football shirt. I wish I'd taken a photo then.
In that act you see the humour, warmth, & fun of the Geordie, of which I am proud to be, as well as their devotion to the football team and the player whom has proven himself a goal scoring icon. Leave a Comment Address: SpringwellDirections: Springwell, over looking the Team Valley

The Angel is now also one of the 12 official 'Icons of England' and attracts over 100,000 visitors a year. You can't miss it when you drive into Gateshead on the A1. What a sight!!

 Angel of the North by clairegeordio
It is found on the entrance to Gateshead, about 2 miles from Newcastle. It is constructed on a hilltop where it can be clearly seen.
Work began in Sept 1997 and was finished in Feb 1998.
If you look closely at the picture you can see a person standing next to it which gives you an idea of it's size. Leave a Comment Directions: Near the A1 in Gateshead. Please look at website www.gateshead.gov.uk/angel/visiting.htm for directionsWebsite: www.gateshead.gov.uk/angel/
