Taken from the steps of the East End pool and library, the square is a new'ish public square on Shields Road. The square was designed by Artscope and they commissioned Charles Allen at New Castle Delft to produce the ceramic tiles and plaques. archaeologists have confirmed that Hadrians Wall would have run through the Square, at this point we are about 1 1/2 miles west from the end of the Wall, at Wallsend.
