North Shields and Tynemouth, historically united, lie on the north
bank of the River Tyne. North Shields grew up as a fishing port
serving the Priory of Tynemouth on the headland. As other
industries moved into North Shields, particularly shipbuilding, the
town expanded from its site along the riverbank to accommodate the
workers, absorbing villages nearby. Latterly, much of the town,
including its historic quayside area, has been regenerated. Nearby
Tynemouth remained smaller and today attracts many visitors to its
beaches and historical landmarks, particularly the castle and
priory. In North Shields & Tynemouth Pubs, author Eileen
Burnett takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the
towns' watering holes. Many of the pubs have retained features and
traditions of previous ages, and she reveals the variety of North
Shields' and Tynemouth's pubs, including the characters that have
frequented or run the public houses over the years. Brimming with
quirky tales and fascinating facts, this carefully crafted guide
initiates readers into the history of North Shields' and
Tynemouth's pubs.
