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There are historical documents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.
