I found myself waiting for a bus in Ryton the other day, when I spotted the village's brand new 'Heritage Garden' across the way. So I quickly popped over the road and took a few snaps. I'm not sure if this sort of QEII 'tribute' is something that has been duplicated elsewhere in the UK, but I think it is rather splendid.
Best of all are these three information boards, headed 'Our Industrial Heritage', 'Our Cultural Heritage' and 'Our Sporting Heritage'. I have done my best with the images - I do hope you can read them (click on the images, then try enlarging them by whatever means possible via your browser).
This sort of thing is just great. You know, we really should be blowing our trumpets more about our incredible past here in the North-East. Let's just hope that the weather and the local yobs don't have too adverse an effect on this splendid new landmark. Anyway, well done to all concerned.
