It’s hard to believe that Antony Gormley's “Angel of the North” has been embracing travellers in the North East for 17 years. A landmark on the hillside close to Low Fell, it’s become one of the most recognised and loved pieces of British public art, despite some initial resistance to its installation. A young Miss Glis and I visited years ago but despite seeing it from a distance on my journeys east, I hadn’t returned to the windswept location until recently. The Angel was no less impressive on my second visit and well deserves its place in the public’s affections
