North Shields – an overview of 800 years
North Shields began life around 1225 on the banks of the Tyne, sparked by the ambitions of the Prior of Tynemouth. Its early growth clashed with Newcastle’s trade monopoly, leading to centuries of fierce rivalry, riots, and recovery. From booming medieval trade and fishing fleets to decline, reform, and resurgence, the town’s story is one of resilience and reinvention. Today, 800 years on, the quay is thriving once again. Discover the full story in Mike's book, The Pow Burn NS800 edition.
