Looking over the River Wear from below the Stadium of Light
Viewers may be reassured to know that the figures in the foreground are statuary!
The installation is entitled 'Men of Steel' by Graeme Hopper (2001). The steel men push boulders of coal up the hill to pay homage to the generations of miners who worked in the Wearmouth Colliery where the Stadium of Light now stands. The artist said: "It represents man's social struggle and will to survive against the odds. The figures show purpose and aims, they symbolise hope and achievement."

Another footpath closed, Bishopwearmouth, Sunderland
There seems to be no access to the river bank in Bishopwearmouth - presumably because of the redevelopment associated with the 'Riverside Sunderland' regeneration project

Beach Street, Sunderland
Despite its name, Beach Street leads not to a beach but into an industrial area on the bank of the River Wear. In this image, the Stadium of Light (football ground) and Sunderland Aquatic Centre (swimming pool) are visible. Both are on the opposite side of the river.

Where is the Weardale Way?
Shortly after passing The Saltgrass Inn on Hanover Place, the long distance path veers to the left towards the river - at least it is supposed to. Problem is that it has been closed off. Never mind, thought I, there is another path further up the road.
Footpath closed and entrance firmly shut of with knife like railings to ensure compliance.
No diversion signs, in fact it seems that the Weardale Way no longer exists once it reaches Sunderland.
