Happy Birthday to the Angel of the North - 23 today! What's your best angel memory? www.gateshead.gov.uk/angel | Gateshead Council

Standing tall over Gateshead, the Angel of the North has become more than a landmark — it’s part of who we are. As the sun rises, the light catches its steel wings and the landscape comes alive around it. From above, it’s breathtaking — calm, strong, and unmistakably northern. A sculpture built where miners once worked, now standing for everyone who calls this region home. #NorthernPerspectives #AngelOfTheNorth #Gateshead #NorthEastEngland | Northern Perspectives
