Workers of all lands unite.

A wonderful insight into wartime life on South Tyneside, told by real people!

Worked here in the early 80s when the building was being refurbished.I put the lead on the roof. My initals and date will be on the capping pieces..I recall it was bitter cold weather, coldest few weeks of my life

My parents lived in Cone Street, my six brothers and sisters were born there.

Home ❤

What a wonderful storey of Amy Flagg she was so a head of her time ❤️

My grandparent (Richardson) had a newsagents on the market place in the post war years until the 80s. Thank you Janis for the insight of your piece and evoking childhood memories.

The 2nd l.p was so good.... Then they became reds & that was the end. *Rock against communism* 🇮🇲

Ned Kelly! 🙌🏼 Anyone know if Ned is still around? He must be in his early 80s nowadays.

Very good. The lady said, I'll paraphrase, "I'm Catholic, and I'm proud to have a religion." Not _the_ religion. I'm not a good Catholic, but I think it's the only valid-true religion. I love what you presented here.

Please the music is too loud, it make it difficult to hear what people are saying

My Dad,Grandad, great grandad and great great grandad were all South Shields born, I was born in North Shields and my son in Durham. I enjoyed that. Thanks it was a very interesting watch. 👍

Little Big town

I used to go to the Middle Club, the Top club, Brighams and the British legion. Very happy days with my dad. He played harmonica in all of the clubs. Its a tradition we should all try to continue.

Great video. In the early 1990's I lived in Shields where I worked at the Gazette. I always loved the area and the people and this video along with your others brought back some memories. Many thanks for that.

An interesting topic ,i could go on about . There was a boom in the 70,s .i saw lenny hendry . Bobby Thomson he always sold out. John miles, Highfly /music.

Outstanding look back at history

Came here via Wifedom. Great story. Thanks for sharing.

I was born and bred in Southfamily working in the coal mines. Arthur Scargill and his cronies completely misrepresented

Bolingbroke hall gig . Unbelievable it changed my life forever.

This is a beautiful video. It’s so informative and a great little history of what went on. Thanks gary x

All our grandparents went through and now the police are deliberately letting the disgusting immigrants destroy Remembrance Sunday, makes me cry

Great trip down memory lane I was there when Ali was at the Mosque he shook my hand I was 12 year old great video 👍👍👍👍👍

Remember captain boycott.

Yeah the tug boats companies Thomas batey and Francis fenick .Hector Stewart was a famous tugboat Skipper.I remember the tug boats bemish and wearside the Robert redhead.joffre the George the fifth.Tec.

Cant you get around the non smoking by listing the main areas in a club as a smoking area.

i got my assed kicked every day in south shields lol.. still loved it .

Born in South Shields in 56, joined the army in 75 and was posted to Germany in 76. I have lived in Germany ever since. But I still consider Shields to be home.

The upstarts played the miners hall in boldon colliery!! Pig head !!

I collect antique stone ginger beer bottles, and some of the finest and most sought after come from South Shields. Date to 1890-1915.

Remember going to the Whiteleas working mens club with my father back in the late 70's. I'll have to get back to see what's happening to Shields before I get too old to travel.

I thoughly enjoyed that video, thanks for making it. I never worked on the river but my family did, my ancestors being Keelmen. I remember a lot of the shops and tugs mentioned.

Wonderful !!

Wifedom brought me here. Grateful to this short video.

The memories this awoke, born in N. Shields but spent many happy days on the South side as a cadet at S. Shields Marine Tech. Now living in Ontario, Canada but always a geordie with the river and its people in my blood. Many thanks for this, there's a ton of stories out there, our music, comedy, the people and the place all to be told, there are a number of sights on you tube extolling the virtues of the NE and none have a bad thing to say.

The Devil is the Father of Lies.

Spent. Many holidays there in the 70s. Lovely place😅😅😅😅

Interesting and illuminating. I was in the 2nd archaeology intake at Durham in 1975, and I don't remember the 1st observation walk around the city Rosie mentioned. Must have been a later development. I did admire her work at Jarrow/Monkwearthmouth but despite having applied to Durham specifically to do A-S and Viking archaeology, I was pushed off to other sites and so ended up as an archaeologist (as I was before, having entered as a mature student) and then became a quasi-Romanist. I was, however, saddened by the news of her recent death...

Brilliant Work mate 😅😅

Sad to hear of her passing yesterday RIP.

Great to see, I lived beside the Beacon pub. There's nowhere as lovely to live as The Lawe Top. Lovely to see these familiar faces and places I love.

I really enjoyed this video thank you. My ancestors lived in Jarrow and worked at Palmers. So far they are English and possibly Scottish but I'm hoping to find some Irish ancestors too.

Thank you for this😌🙏 Yes quite interesting isn't it, Orwell was staying in a rented cottage owned by one of the most hereditary satanic British/German/American families there is, the Astor family😌😑 Judeo-Masonic Zionism has it's very distinctive place in this story and our shared history, if you didn't quite realise it yet

great video lived in biddick hall remember the percy huddson youth club

Happy days

It's always interesting to see what Germany bombed, always poor areas

Thank you. I really enjoyed the video. I used to travel to Whitley Bay every morning using the ferry from South to North Shields and travelling back late afternoon. it was an important part of my life and I loved to observe the weather changes.

Scares me to death now I'm almost 60, moved away to the South at 16 and London for 26 years before returning in 2015 and was so shocked how much Shields had changed. Live here now and, like many towns neglected by subsequent Tory bastards, has a few issues but I am home and will be here till the lights grow dim. Cheers Ali

Thank you for this great tribute to Avro. I'm proud to have often quoted this hero of mine in my great shame-on-the-Roman-Catholic-hierarchy.website/.

This is fab, me & my Nephew have had some lovely long summer days here.
