North Shields : Fish Quay and the Tyne Estuary part one of two

if it was half 10 in the morning ..then the filleting factories are closed, because their shift finishes at 10..they start a 5 am..lol..but that was when the fish quay was thriving...sad really..i remember when there was loads of trawlers on the quay, at least 4 deep...all lined up, from the ice factory to the gut..

I played (in a band) on a makeshift stage outside The Dolphin many moons ago at the Annual Fishquay Festival, now sadly curtailed. You're right about the bacon! Dry cured wi nee salty watter!

If you're really short of entertainment, the various spelling gaffs on the traders' chalkboards may provide some comic relief.

What are your mainland European destinations going into 2010 at a glance? Will Scandanavia be on your list?

I have not thought much about this yet. I am going to Czech in March. Possibly Russia in January. Germany in Sept and Nov definitely. For the rest I do not know yet!! But I wont be going to Scandinavia!!

Regards from Nuremburg!!

W Polsce to nie, bo jest tu wiele pięknych miejsc ale niż w Poznaniu to zdecydowanie tak.
