Summary
[edit]DescriptionNational Cycle Network milepost on William Armstrong Drive - geograph.org.uk - 1050955.jpg |
English: National Cycle Network milepost on William Armstrong Drive. Newcastle Business Park flanks William Armstrong Drive on the north side. This area was once occupied by the massive Armstrong engineering works. A number of interpretive plaques describing the industrial archaeology have been erected in the area, and one can be seen here.
The broad footway on the south side of the road, overlooking the River Tyne, carries Hadrian's Way, the local name for the traffic-free route along the Tyne through Newcastle. The Way is followed by both Hadrian's Wall National Trail http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/hadrianswall/ and by route 72 of the National Cycle Network (Hadrian's Cycleway http://www.cycle-routes.org/HADRIANSCYCLEWAY/and the Tynemouth branch of the C2C Cycle Route http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/). The pink structure is a National Cycle Network milepost http://www.sustrans.org.uk/default.asp?sID=1132763167625, one of a number donated to the NCN project by the Royal Bank of Scotland. This specimen is one of the "Welsh" design by Andrew Rowe, and takes its inspiration from the industrial and nautical heritage of the artist's home in Swansea. An alternative explanation is that it is derived from a Welsh love-spoon. Mileposts are often found painted in outrageous colours according to local initiative. |
