King of South Shields trailer
The King of South Shields is a documentary about a very special royal visit - the day in 1977 that Muhammad Ali and his new wife Veronica came to Tyneside to have their wedding blessed by the Imam and the effect that this event had on the young Yemeni-British men who attended the South Shields Mosque. This film examines the emerging Arab/British identity and briefly introduces this historic community.

Video Game Arcade Tours - Ocean Beach Pleasure Park (South Shields, UK)
I wasn't overly impressed with the three arcades in Ocean Beach Pleasure Park because they have a considerable amount of floor space and also the park brings in lots of children, so where ARE the video games? I think I counted 2 or 3 in each arcade, they were all jam packed with redemption machines and fruit machines. Not great at all.
Many of the arcades in the UK (Mainly seaside arcades) are called Amusement Arcades. They are typically packed with redemption-based machines with very few video games (As video games simply do not make money). I have placed the word Amusements in the title for these types of places as they are not true Video Game Arcades, but deserve some sort of mention. As gambling is legal in the UK, they tend to include fruit machines (aka slot machines) and various other things money-making games, so video games really take a back seat in places like these. They also really hate filming, I'm not sure why because it's free advertising, unless dodgy things are taking place lol

An amusement arcade (often referred to as video arcade or simply arcade) is a venue where people play arcade games such as video games, pinball machines, electro-mechanical games, redemption games, merchandisers (such as claw cranes), or coin-operated billiards or air hockey tables. In some countries, some types of arcades are also legally permitted to provide gambling machines such as slot machines or pachinko machines. Games are usually housed in cabinets. The term used for ancestors of these venues in the beginning of the 20th century was penny arcades.Video games were introduced in amusement arcades in the late 1970s and were most popular during the golden age of arcade video games, the early 1980s. Arcades became popular with children and particularly adolescents, which led parents to be concerned that video game playing might cause them to skip school.

Arbeia -South Shields Roman Fort - Full Tour. Tyne and Wear. Free entry.
Arbeia – South Shields Roman Fort is FREE to visit, boasts: an impressive full-scale reconstructed Roman gatehouse; outstanding collection of Roman artefacts and foundations of a Roman fort, used by Emporer Severus as his headquarters during the invasion of Scotland and later as a supply depot for Hadrian’s Wall. My film takes you on an entire tour around the fort.
Reasons to visit –
• It’s free!
• The fort has an impressive full-scale reconstruction of a
Roman gatehouse.
• Extensive remains of the fort’s foundations.
• A significant collection of finds and artefacts, including a rare
Roman soldier’s chain mail armour.
• Reconstructions of a Roman soldiers’ barrack block and
Commanding Officer’s house.
• View regular ongoing excavation work.
• Great place for children to learn about the Romans.
• Fascinating insight into the diversity of the Romans.
The History bit -
The fort was built during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian, guarding the sea route to the river Tyne and later used to supply the troops on Hadrian’s Wall.
The fort has been adapted a number of times, originally housing a mix of Roman infantry and cavalry, supplied by two granaries, which was standard for a Roman fort. The visible fort was built under the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (161-180).
It was the headquarters of Emperor Severus during his invasion of Scotland (AD208-10), during which at least thirteen granaries were added to supply the invasion force.
In AD 222 – 235 Arbeia supplied the troops on Hadrian’s Wall and the number of granaries was increased to 24.
Hadrian’s Wall started to be built in AD122 on the instructions of the Emperor Hadrian. For 300 years it remained the north-west frontier of the Roman Empire and is the most important Roman monument build in Britain. The Wall was built to protect the Empire from the northern barbarians and to control the population and trade.
Interesting facts –
Arbeia means “place of the arabs” and may have got it’s name from a unit of bargemen stationed at the fort, who originated from the River Tigris, in modern-day Iraq.
In Roman times the gatehouse would have been plastered with white plaster and painted with red paint to emulate stone blocks.
Location:
Arbeia Roman Fort, Baring Street, South Shields, Tyne and Wear, NE33 2BB.
Check the official website for details and opening times:
If you live or are staying in Newcastle or Sunderland it is close and really easy to get to and just a short walk from the metro.
Personal Recommendation-
If you are staying in Newcastle or nearby then Arbeia is well worth a visit especially as it is free to enter and a short walk from the metro. The gatehouse is very impressive, the two small museum buildings hold a really interesting collection of artefacts. The chain mail suit is very rare. The fort foundations have been extensively robbed out in places and are sometimes only indicated by markers, other sites along the wall have more complete foundations. Arbeia is surrounded by housing and suffers in comparison with sites such as Vindolanda, Housesteads and Chesters, which are located in the countryside and their rural location make it easier for the visitor to imagine the forts as they once were.
