I know this landmark so well winjim.

I have never been close up but it stands on one of the most prominent hills in Durham. It can be seen from the A1 and A19.

In my book, this iconic monolith has far greater aesthetic appeal than the winged oddity further North. Its all a matter of taste.

Cheers.
