My name's Caroline and I love North Shields. My family goes way back and I always enjoy hearing tales of the town. I currently work from home as a linguist but I was a teacher for over 20 years. I live with my husband and our two cats. We love music, walking and craft beer. My dad lives close by and has built a boat. It was through telling his story that I began writing for I Love North Shields. I feel privileged to meet so many fascinating people and create connections in the community by sharing their stories.

Rooted in the streets of North Shields, this story is a reminder that sometimes the past has a way of singing back to us, if we’re willing to listen.
