We are delighted to have been given access to a substantial collection of local photographs taken by photographer Ernest Storey.
Ernest has spent many years recording places and events in the area and over the coming months we will be adding some of his images to the website.
He remembers one event particularly, the fire that destroyed the Plaza in Tynemouth in 1996, you can see one of Ernests images showing the scene as the fire was being extinguished below. Look out for more of Ernest's photos soon.

We're delighted to announce that we have a new contributor to the website, Robert (Bob) Scott. Bob was originally from North Shields but now lives in Australia. He has given us memories of his early life in North Shields, including being at school at Tynemouth High School, as well as a selection of his poetry. A compilation of his poetry and prose has been published in book form under the title of 'Mixed Murmurs in My Mind' and copies of the book, priced at £3.00 (+ P&P) are available to buy from North Tyneside Library Service, or by emailing us through the Contact page.
