Description: At the north end of the Ceremonial Way, mounted on the Otta slate flank wall forming the link to the Council Chamber, is the majestic bronze sculpture of the River-God Tyne by David Wynne - some sixteen feet (4.8 m) high and two and a quarter tons (2880 kg) in weight which, in its time, was the largest bronze figure to be erected in this country since Rodin’s time. It is further unique in that water pours from his elevated hand drenching the body and symbolising his significance as the allegorical God of the Tyne River.
