Having answered the questions about the guildhall clock tower, who knows what our young lovers thought, maybe Bessie and John had love on their minds....or maybe they were feeling mathematical, in the darkest corners of Newcastle it is said that as they fled Bessie;s father, John was heard to say
"The railings by the river side comprise horizontal bars and large bollards. Estimate how many bollards there are between the Swing Bridge and the Millennium Bridge.
and then Bessie my darling, Use your answer to workout how far it is approximately from the guildhall to the Millennium crossing.
