Walking tour set to reveal the history of two iconic South Shields parks
Members of the public are being invited to find out more about two South Shields parks.
A walking tour is set to educate members of the public on the history of North and South Marine Parks.
Taking place at 2.30pm on Sunday, July 5, the event will look at both parks and discover how they have developed into the places that we know today.
The event will start and finish at the Lifeboat Memorial, on Ocean Road.
Organisers have said: “In 1855 the Health Committee of South Shields Borough Council were instructed by the National Government to provide space for public parks.
“This walk will look at both parks and hear about how they have developed into the special parks we know today.”
Adult tickets for the event cost £7, with concession (aged over 60) tickets available for £5.
Those with a Newcastle City Guides Season Ticket can attend for free providing you show your ticket on the day.
