Collingwood Monument, Monument and statue in North Tyneside, England.
The Collingwood Monument features a tall stone column topped with a statue of Admiral Collingwood and includes four cannons from HMS Royal Sovereign at its base.
Built in 1845 through public funding, the monument honors Vice Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, who commanded the British fleet after Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar.
The structure represents the strong maritime traditions of North East England and serves as a primary location for naval commemoration ceremonies throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the Grade II listed monument by following Front Street in Tynemouth, where it stands near the mouth of the River Tyne.
The monument incorporates authentic cannons from Collingwood's flagship vessel, HMS Royal Sovereign, which were added to the flanking steps in 1848.
