Ferry Landing Stage

North Shields

This is the new landing stage for North Shields, one of the two landings for the Shields foot ferry. (The other side being South Shields.)
 
There are historical documents going back as far as 1377 that detail a ferry crossing between the two settlements of North and South Shields on opposite sides of the River Tyne, near where it meets the Sea. Today the ferry service is operated by Nexus.
