Rediscovering The Shields Garland – the 1850s songbook of Shields
When a North Shields resident stumbled upon a forgotten relic from the past, it sparked an unexpected journey through history, music, and community when she discovered The Shields Garland. What began as a quiet moment of curiosity soon grew into a heartfelt project, bringing together voices—old and new—in a celebration of place and memory. 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.
Poetry: Our Town
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.
Discover the art trail brightening up The Meadows Community Garden
Tucked behind The Meadows Community Centre, something vibrant is growing — and it’s not just the vegetables. With murals, sculptures, and nature-inspired installations, The Meadows are creating a unique art trail through their community garden. What began with a striking mural on the building’s front has blossomed into a creative journey featuring buzzing bees, painted shipping containers, and collaborative works from local artists like Mark Shields and Durham Spray. This evolving outdoor gallery not only brightens the space but also invites more people in to enjoy, connect, and even lend a hand.
