Bookstack By Fred Watson is just over the sail bridge that Beth featured on Thursday.

Made whilst the artist was on a Fellowship at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop, ‘Bookstack’ was subsequently purchased when Newcastle Polytechnic became a University in 1992. 100 civic and academic dignitaries gathered for the inauguration, with a church service in St. Thomas’s church followed by a ceremony in which the Duchess of Northumberland received the new university’s first honorary degree. She then unveiled the sculpture, which has become a popular place to have pictures taken after graduation ceremonies.
