A nostalgic tour of Jarrow illustrated by old photographs of the
town, selected from the author's quite unique and extensive
collection. The images, many of which have never been published
before, feature street scenes, notable buildings, social history,
industry, events and transport. Jarrow was renowned as a town built
on shipbuilding and steel working, courtesy of the Palmer
shipbuilding empire, who reigned supreme supplying the world's
fleet with more than 1000 vessels until its demise in 1933. It was
this abrupt closure of the world famous shipyard which instigated
the infamous 'Jarrow Crusade'. The fascination eight picture
postcards which were given to Paul Perry in 1966 were the beginning
of a journey, a journey which has lasted close to fifty years. The
postcards were to form the backbone of the author's extensive
collection and have multiplied into many thousands of images, some
of which he share's with you within the pages of this publication.
