It was a great place to go at Easter to roll your paste eggs down the hill to crack them and then eat them.

When I was a young girl I went with my grandfather to the Penshaw Monument in Sunderland and used to roll my easter eggs (hard boiled and hand painted!). I am now 37 and a carer for my grandfather who is 91 years young. As I go up the motorway you can see Penshaw Monument standing proud on the hill and it's truly fantastic.

This was the first ever building I was inspired to find out more about. I must have been about 6 and staying with relatives in Sunderland. I know I asked about it at a local paper, and something was printed. The monument, and the hill it's on have made a lasting impression on me.

Proudly standing guard over Wearside, Penshaw Monument certainly is an icon. When returning from travelling away from the region you always know you are nearly home when you see Penshaw Monument in the distance......
