I lived in South Shields for the first 19 years of my life, not far from this, and don’t remember ever seeing it. I drove up Westoe Road this afternoon and it jumped out at me. Then I got home, checked my emails and there it was again. What an odd coincidence.

  I wonder if something was hiding it, like another sign?
