SEVEN signposts, each featuring sculptures of different kinds of footwear, from walking boots to trainers, are decorating a nine-mile stretch of a wellknown walking route.
They will be dotted along the Teesdale Way, from South Bank to Coatham Marsh.
Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council has located the signposts at road junctions along the borough’s part of the 160- km Teesdale Way, which explores the course of the River Tees from its source on the high moors of Cross Fell in the Cumbrian North Pennines to its outlet in Middlesbrough.
Council leader Councillor George Dunning said: “These signposts are a marvellous additions to our part of the Teesdale Way.
“The trail through the borough is full of contrasts, taking walkers through the borough’s social, cultural and economic life. The signposts will help to promote the route, aid visitors and users along the trail, and add something special and unique to the trail.”
The signposts were produced by sculptor Jim Roberts.
