South Shields Museum & Art Gallery

😐 Quite a diverse mixture of different things in this building. There's a small section on how the War years affected the area, then a bit on the industries if the area like fishing, shipping, coal mining and glass manufacture. I think they should get rid of "creature corner" not nice to see a live Py...

👍👍 I'm not a huge football fan, but I find it hard to pass on a free museum. And I'm really glad I visited. It's a small museum which you'd spend very little time in if it wasn't for the amazing guide we had who really knew his stuff. Lots of football memorabilia, all with great stories.
