If you could spend just ONE day back in old South Shields, what year would you choose,
where would you go, and who would you take with you?
Let's step back in time and rediscover South Shields as it once was,
when days at the beach, strolls through Marine Park and trips on the boating lake were life's simple pleasures.

THE HERRING GIRLS OF OLD NORTH SHIELDS 🐟❤️
Long before the restaurants and bars of today, North Shields Fish Quay was a hive of activity, filled with fishermen, fishwives and the remarkable women known as the Herring Girls.
These hardworking lasses, many travelling down from Scotland, followed the fishing fleets along the east coast, working tirelessly to gut, clean, salt and pack the daily catch. Their days were long, their hands were cold, and the work was tough — but they played a vital role in the fishing heritage of the River Tyne.
Imagine the noise of the quay, the smell of the sea, the clatter of barrels and the sound of these women going about their daily work. This was real working life on the Tyne, when fishing was the backbone of communities like North Shields.
These women were more than just workers. They were mothers, daughters, wives and sisters, and their contribution deserves to be remembered just as much as the fishermen who went out to sea.
❤️ Did your parents, grandparents or great-grandparents work on North Shields Fish Quay? Do you have any family stories about the herring girls or the old fishing days? We’d love to hear them in the comments.
Let’s keep the memories of our North East heritage alive for future generations.

🌊🏰 Loch Ness — Where History Meets Legend…
High above the shores of Loch Ness, the ancient ruins of Urquhart Castle have stood watching over these mysterious waters for centuries.
But beneath the surface… something else has been watching. 👀
As the sun sets over the Highlands, a shadow moves through the depths…
And then… Nessie rises. 🐉
Real or legend?
Perhaps some mysteries are better left unanswered…

🏴 EDINBURGH — WHEN TIME STOOD STILL 🕰️
Take a journey back through the streets of old Edinburgh and see Scotland’s capital as it once was.
From the mighty Forth Bridge and the busy streets of the Old Town, to horse-drawn carts, early motor cars, trams, shopkeepers, workers and everyday Edinburgh folk going about their lives — these images bring a fascinating lost Edinburgh back to life.
We travel through bustling streets and historic neighbourhoods, past old shops and businesses, through Leith and its busy waterfront, and into the heart of Edinburgh where the city’s unmistakable architecture has watched generations come and go.
Some of these streets may look familiar… but the Edinburgh you’ll see here is a world away from the city we know today.
🚋 No smartphones.
🚗 No traffic jams like today.
🐎 Horse and cart instead of taxis.
🏪 Shops with names long forgotten.
👨👩👧👦 And ordinary people simply getting on with everyday life.
It’s more than just old photographs — it’s a glimpse into the people, streets and atmosphere of a bygone Edinburgh.
