I Love North Shields – Spring Issue (Pre-Order)
Our Spring Issue is almost here— and it’s one of our strongest yet.
As North Shields steps boldly into its Town of Culture 2028 bid, this edition captures exactly why our town already lives and breathes creativity, community and culture every single day.
Inside this issue you’ll find:
• The remarkable story of The Lost Painters of North Shields
• A powerful collaboration with AmberSide, opening up the Amber Film & Photography archives
• Our striking cover by local painter Pamela Ormston
• The story of Tom Manson and the lasting influence on mosaic artist Leslie Forman
• Public art transforming spaces like The Triangle
• Richard O’Brien’s Poems on Walls initiative
Plus:
• Music history with North Shields’ own Julie Grant
• Behind the scenes with filmmaker Asia Cakala
• Why Seb Lowe chose North Shields for his latest video
• A walking trail honouring historic women of the town
• Hidden theatre history uncovered in Cullercoats
• A nostalgic walk around the Fish Quay
And as always, our much-loved Local Heroes — celebrating the volunteers, changemakers and everyday legends who make North Shields what it is.
We also look back at ILNS Photowalks, the Beacon pop-up, community collaborations, and share what’s coming next — including our Vintage Market and youth-led Next Gen issue.
