Great piece! Although as a born n bred local you won’t mind me saying it’ll never make it on the ‘Tourism Guide’ shelves 😉 except for the Posada of course and we’d all really prefer that didn’t attract any tourism trade.
As usual much enjoyed and recognised a lot of which you write, Nico. Several of my pieces are of North Shields, Tynemouth and the area and I often go along to the Old Lowlight and the wonderful talks they hold there. And oh, the Crown Prosada. Even mentioned that again in my last piece. What a pub.

Thanks Alan, yes you could be right there..!

A wonderful interweaving of history and the present day. I have never been to this part of the world, but I was with you on the journey!
Thanks Caroline!
