Angel of the North - Northumberland
As the name suggests, it is a steel sculpture of an angel, standing 20 metres (66 feet) tall, with wings 54 metres (178 feet) � making it wider than the Statue of Liberty's height. The wings themselves are not planar, but are angled 3.5 degrees forward, which Gormley has been quoted as saying was to create "a sense of embrace". It stands on a hill overlooking the A1 road and the A167 road into Tyneside and the East Coast Main Line rail route. In 1998, a Newcastle United football shirt was put on Angel of the North, which had a number 9 on the back, the same number as Alan Shearer's football shirt.
