I moved back to the NE in 2018 after working in London for 40 years. I’m proud to call North Shields home and to make a positive contribution to the town, as a writer for ‘I Love North Shields’ and a trustee of the Elevation Walls Mural event. I also run the northshields_people pages on Facebook and Instagram, sharing good news and positive energy about North Shields. When I have a bit of spare time, I enjoy travel and photography. All of this means that retirement is busier than I ever expected it to be - and also much more fun!
Our Town by Roslyn Renwick honours North Shields’ enduring spirit, celebrating its history, people, and everyday life. Through vivid images of fishing roots and daily rituals, the poem asserts that the town’s streets are more than places—they are living memories shaped by community pride and resilience.
