Re Penshaw Monument ~

Penshaw Monument, officially The Earl of Durham's Monument, was built in 1844 on Penshaw Hill between the districts of Washington and Houghton-le-Spring, within the City of Sunderland, North East England. It is dedicated to John George Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham and the first Governor of the Province of Canada and affectionately known as Radical Jack.

On 5 April 1926 a 15-year-old boy from Fatfield, Washington, Temperley Arthur Scott, fell to his death from the top of the Penshaw Monument. The boy was with three friends and 20 other people when the accident happened. They had reached the roof via the spiral staircase in one of the pillars. Afterwards the spiral staircase to the roof was closed and remained so until 2011, when the public were again granted access to the spiral staircase and views from the top of the monument.
