fishing history
North Shields, a town within the North Tyneside borough of Tyne and Wear, North East England (formerly part of the Tynemouth County Borough, abolished in 1974).
North Shields was first leveraged in 1225 to provide a fisheries for the Priory, situated at the mouth of the River Tyne.
The port is still in use today, with the present quay built in 1870 (to accommodate the new steam fishing trawlers) and is the largest English port for prawns. It was also once the largest kipper producer, however the lack of herring stocks reduced the trade to one smokery.
