The lifeblood of our town — North Shields’ small businesses. Meet the makers, shopkeepers, creatives, and dreamers behind the places we love to visit. Each spotlight celebrates local pride, resilience, and the power of community.
While North Shields gears up to celebrate 800 years of history down on the Fish Quay, another milestone has just been toasted a little higher up the hill. At the Tynemouth Lodge, landlord Damian King has marked 25 years at the helm of one of the town’s most storied pubs — a Georgian gem with ghosts in the rafters, Bass on tap, and conversation flowing where the TVs never play. From scandal and spirits (of both kinds) to sunshine pints in its secret beer garden, The Lodge remains a true North Shields institution — steeped in history, kept alive by community, and safe in the hands of a man who's not leaving anytime soon.
