Painted age 12 for homework, based on Sheila’s neighbour – Mrs Inskip’s — fish & chip shop on Imeary Street, South Shields (where Raads takeaway is now). Note the fish & chips wrapped in newsprint.
In this exhibition, visitors can discover South Tyneside’s evolving food and drink story, from Roman times up to the present day, and learn of the origins of some of the borough’s most iconic eateries, including Colmans fish and chips, Dicksons pork butchers and Minchella & Co’s ice cream. In the decades following the Second World War, culinary horizons were expanded with the introduction of flavours from places far beyond UK shores.
