Spanning 150 years of South Shields' changing fortunes, A Tyneside
Heritage is a pioneering work of interwoven local and family
history. After the nineteenth-century boom years of coal exporting
and shipbuilding for global markets came the First World War, then
the mass unemployment and political turbulence of the 1930s.
Luftwaffe bombing in the Second World War was followed by the
peacetime challenge of attracting new industrial development.
Against this background, four generations of the Chapman family
played a leading role in the town and in County Durham as
businessmen, soldiers, borough councillors, sportsmen,
philanthropists and representatives of royalty.
