Percy French Memorial
As part of the shiny post modern Promenade in Newcastle there is a shiny post modern see through metal 'statue' of Percy French whose ditty 'Where the Mountains of Mourne Sweep down to the Sea' helped to promote Newcastle's reputation as the 'Queen of Irish Watering Places' Cynics believe that Mr French came to Newcastle as infrequently as Rabbie Burns came to Coldstream but no matter.The Mournes are here and the cerainly sweep down to the sea. This memorial has also escaped the attentions of the vandals- see previous post
But give them time
