Very contentious - Having googled it, I think you will find the angel is located on Tyneside in the County of Tyne and Wear (not County Durham).
Correct , but to be more accurate the "Angel" is in Gateshead, a town on the south bank of the Tyne, which now falls within the County of Tyne and Wear.
In the old days (early '70s) Gateshead did fall within County Durham and to be fair to Sal, the Angel remains only about a third of a mile over the nearest County Durham border, which is an easy mistake to make when passing through at 60mph.

This thread started as a moan about the Northern Motorhome Show moving to Cheshire and now it's just a debate about what constitutes 'The North'.
As regards the show being in NORTHumberland, organisers of shows need visitors and therefore go where there is a concentration of inhabitants. Northumberland is thinly populated by comparison and long may it stay so, as I love visiting it for the peace and quiet.
I stand corrected - and happily so. It is a while since I have driven that part of the A1 and my memory of the Angel was that it was just over the border into Co Durham. Glad to see it is truly in good old Tyne and Wear.
Apologies if you feel the thread is being hijacked, only a little tease was my intention. However, on a serious note, it would be wonderful to see the Northern show held in the North. York was a terrific venue. Sadly, it seems that is no longer available. Instead of hosting things like the 'Hoppings' on the Town Moor perhaps Newcastle could look at hosting a Motorhome show. There is plenty of room on the Moor, or, if not, the Race Course in Gosforth Park. Unfortunately there was insufficient support for a show in Scotland but there are still many up here who are interested and who have to travel great distances.
