It always delights me to see reminders of Staffordshire when I am away from the county.
Tamworth Road in the Newcastle-u-Tyne suburb of Arthur's Hill is just off a busy market, so it sees a good deal of life. The council have given it this rather grand modern-art metal signpost.
It's nor clear though why this road should named after Tamworth (a name that seems to refer only to the southern Staffordshire town), nearly two hundred miles away.
Tamworth sounds like a good surname for a character, too.
