Collingwood Monument, Tynemouth, Tyne and Wear
Statue of Admiral Collingwood built to commemorates his success at Trafalgar with Nelson. He played a pivotal role in the battle as Nelson's 'right-hand' man. He commanded the ship the Royal Sovereign. The statue was built in 1845 by public subscription. Collingwood was born in Newcastle and members of his family lived at Chirton, North Shields. The statue was deliberately sited to be seen from the sea and the river.
