Silverlink Countryside Park, 'Sundial'

1998 by Graham Robinson for Northern Freeform, architects Anthony Walker & Partners. A sundial formed in coloured paving slabs with iron numbers around a central sun motif, on the summit of a modern artificial hill. The gnomon is a large slanting slab of orange-brown iron with relief designs on either side. The 'Sundial' was unveiled by David Bellamy. The hill is now the highest point in North Tyneside. Commissioned by North Tyneside City Challenge and English Partnerships.
