A rusty coloured metal statue of a herring girl, a woman holding two herring in each hand and wearing a headscarf. She is made of welded pieces of metal with the seams visible as if a nod to the industrial area. 
Just above her left hand a (real) seagull drifted across the blue sky as though watching for leftovers.

Herring Girl/Herring Gull, Fish Quay, North Shields, 2026

#WhitleyBay Foam Party on Watt's Slope Whitley Bay, this day 1st March 2018.

"Sea foam is a natural, airy, white-to-light-brown froth created when strong waves and wind agitate seawater with high concentrations of dissolved organic matter, such as decaying algae, proteins, and lipids. "

Looking up at a seagull on top of a lamppost, set against a cloudy sky

Good afternoon from Squawky, patiently waiting to crap on a passerby

Looking across to North Pier, ship adjacent, small boat in background

When you’re the main character and the lighthouse is just a supporting extra.

That be the River Tyne over yonder. South Shields on the left and North Shields on the right.

And don’t let that sliver of cloud-free sky fool you! It’s blowing a gale, absolutely freezing and the weather on the drive up was bloody awful. Nice to be here though.

Viewing tower. View from the tower. Reconstruction of site.

Segedunum Roman Fort, Wallsend, Newcastle.

A fort, built c. 125 CE, to house c. 600 men, stood at the end of the extension to Hadrian’s Wall

The tower gives a view over extensive remains, with a television screen showing a reconstruction of the sites’s development

George V postbox Station canopies 1970s Metro train

Tynemouth Station, Tyne and Wear

A King George V box.

The North Eastern Railway station opened in 1882 is famous for the station canopies architecture.

It became part of the Tyne & Wear Metro in 1980. The 1970s trains are now only just being withdrawn after 46 years service.
