I have not yet seen this but it seems daft to do a journal on the area without mentioning something so important that may not yet be known worldwide. Any info here is cribbed from the website which is well worth a visit: http://www.gateshead.gov.uk/angel/
In very short it is a sculpture with a 54 metre [175 foot] wingspan and height of 20 metres [65 feet.] it weighs 200 tonnes and is thought to be the world's biggest angel sculpture.
