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.

Every morning and afternoon on Coach Lane, a little zebra crossing becomes a place of joy, thanks to Heather McKean. Dressed in her hi-vis and armed with her trusty lollipop, Heather isn't just a crossing attendant—she's a local legend. With high fives, warm smiles, and an uncanny ability to remember every name, she turns a simple road crossing into a daily dose of sunshine. For the children (and even a few grumpy drivers), Heather is more than a friendly face—she’s a highlight of the day.
