Roker Pier and Lighthouse, Sunderland.
'An artpiece by artist Andrew Small entitled C marks the end of both the C2C and the W2W cycle route. Designed as a large granite monolith, the work frames Roker Lighthouse, firmly placing the scuplture in it's Sunderland location. The mirror polished finish reflects the nearby surroundings and has star constellations etched into the surface. The work was inspired by ideas that related to Bede, Europe's greatest 8th Century scholar, who calculated the motion of the Sun and the Moon to set the date of Easter which is the method that is still in place today.'
