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).
