The old market hall in South Shields
What a wonderful town this is. A town of contrasts, with a range of historic buildings and modern, contemporary ones too and around every corner a story, something new to learn or see and all populated with the very best people.
Scene at South Shields
The sea is always ever present in South Shields, in one way or another.
Cranes on the skyline and moored ships on the Tyne viewed from South Shields
Too much for my brain to take in. The scale bamboozles me, the depth of history is tangible here. Overload. It is all I can do to photograph it, I certainly cannot process it. What beauty.

Foundation stone
We think we’ve discovered the foundation stone of an old 1800 bridge that crossed the Newcastle to South Shields train line. We had been told about the bridge historically leading to a farm (Lake House Farm), Jarrow. Unfortunately, the bridge was knocked down in the 1960s to make way for a road during the building of the Tyne tunnel.
Royal Quays Convenience Store
You would be forgiven for thinking that this grocery store is closed. Or ruined. But in fact it is open for business.
Area of reflection
These stone blocks, fixed to the ground, are supposed to be an area to reflect and contemplate on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Hill in Coble Dene Park
I liked the contrast between the bright blue sky and the saturated green meadow on this clear October day.
South Shields ferry terminal
The other ferry, 'Pride of the Tyne', is moored nearby. From left to right: Ferry Approach, flats dating from 2004; the National Centre for the Written Word, an arts and cultural centre opened in 2016; and One Harton Quay, an office block dating from 2011 and occupied by BT.
