Plaque, Chirton Dene, North Shields
This small plaque is attached to the wooden boards of a footbridge crossing the Chirton Burn. The word 'What' stokes your curiosity, and as you lean over the bridge to look further you see a sculpting on the bed of the burn below. The flat stone sculpting takes the form of two circular pieces held together by metal bolts. The upper stone has the following words inscribed in it: "What is stronger than stone? Deeper than river? There is a hole in the centre of this upper stone through which you can see inscribed in the lower stone the words: "Each other/Kin". The sculpting was created by Alec Peever and writer Linda France.
