North Shields Fish Quay

North Shields Fish Quay is a fishing port located close to the mouth of the River Tyne, in North Shields, Tyne and Wear, North East England, 8 miles (13 km) east of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. The quay began life in 1225 as a simple village of shielings (seasonal huts used by hunters or fishermen – the term appears in place names throughout Northumberland).

Lord Collingwood Monument

A giant statue of Lord Collingwood overlooking the mouth of the River Tyne. The figure is broadly treated and massive enough to be viewed by mariners at sea. Collingwood, dressed in an admiral’s uniform and draped in a cloak, stands on top of a high yellow stone pedestal. On either side of the pedestal are four canon taken from the Royal Sovereign.
