Lord Collinwood was born in Newcastle in the 1700s he was second in command at trafalgar, and took command when Nelson died. He died himself at sea in 1810, and is buried at St. Paul's cathedral. In 1845 this statue was built over looking the river Tyne and North Sea to remember him, and the cannons were added a few years later. They are the original cannons from his ship the Royal Sovereign.
I visited on Friday with my dad, it has some great views

I seriously need to go back up north and view some tourist attractions instead of just getting drunk in pubs!

I think it is, and strangely as it overlooks he sea it's not really noticeable from the town.
