Fine content good Sir. Born and bread in Laygate South Shields. My Grandfather and father worked as Boiler makers at Readheads Shipyard . At sixteen I chose The open seas . And started an adventure in the Merchant Navy. Some almost 40 years on I am still ploughing the high seas , around the globe. Once its in your blood. It stays forever... All that said South Shields will always be home to me.. Kudos and thank you...

My Dad died shortly before the first lockdown in 2020. We walked the length and breadth of South Tyneside together over the years. We watched as Dad disappeared into the mists of dementia and I miss his humour and optimism. I have watched this film many times and it gives me solace each and every time. Thank you for the memories.

Great film and a credit to all involved. Lovely to see the dedication to Liz, a legend in Jarrow and surrounding areas, for those she supported over the years. A lovely friend and she will be remembered always x x

Brilliant Memory Walk! Very Nostalgic. Yes, you’re right, with Alzheimer’s the clearest memories are the oldest…..and definitely the best! 🤔
