In Newcastle upon Tyne city centre, the pedestrianised Grey Street leads up to the 41m (133ft) tall Grade I listed Grey's Monument at the junction of Blackett Street and Grainger Street.
The monument was built in 1838 to commemorate Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey, who was the British Prime Minister from 1830 to 1834.
On the north face of the plinth of the Monument there is an Ordnance Survey 1GL bolt benchmark cut into the stonework (photograph NZ2464 : Earl Grey's Monument plinth).
To the left of the column the Emerson Chambers, currently housing Waterstone’s Bookshop (photograph NZ2464 : Waterstones' Bookshop), is shrouded in plastic sheeting bearing a representation of the building while repairs are underway.
