This photo of me was took at North Shields Fish Quay just the other week me and my mum had a nice walk Cullercoats to Tynemouth all the way to the Fish Quay to Tynemouth all the way back to Cullercoats then to the car which was parked outside Cullercoats metro station. It was a really long walk we had and I slept well that night.

This is a very apt picture for those living on the cost. The statue is, I understand, a representation of a fisherman, And illustrates the deep connection between the community and fishing, which no doubt goes back centuries!

I never knew that Bob I just thought it was a normal statue of someone I didn’t know it was someone famous.

North Shields and surrounding areas are steeped in the fishing tradition. The Heritage Centre at North Shields is always worth a visit. Obviously closed at the present, but maybe something to pencil into your dairy?

Local history can be part of your identity and makes one feel like where you live is a natural home to belong to.
