River Tyne north pier looking across King Edward's Bay and Tynemouth Priory. After the camera swings round, you can see Newbiggin St Bartholmews Church right in the distance. Sorry about the shakes - it was freezing and I'd just been to Garry Clennell's funeral.
I took this just after I parked up to go to the Gibraltar Rock, post funeral, for a chat, etc.

Tynemouth is a town and a historic borough in Tyne and Wear, England at the mouth of the River Tyne. Historically part of Northumberland, the modern town of Tynemouth includes North Shields and Cullercoats. Its history dates back to an Iron Age settlement and its strategic position on a headland over-looking the mouth of the Tyne continued to be important through to the Second World War. Its historic buildings, dramatic views and award-winning beaches attract visitors from around the world. The heart of the town, known by residents as The village, has popular coffee-shops, pubs and restaurants. It is a prosperous area with comparatively expensive housing stock, ranging from Georgian terraces to Victorian ship-owners' houses to 1960s executive homes. It is represented at Westminster by the Labour MP Alan Campbell.
The queens of Edward I and Edward II stayed in the Castle and Priory while their husbands were campaigning in Scotland. King Edward III considered it to be one of the strongest castles in the Northern Marches. After the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, Edward II fled from Tynemouth by ship. A village had long been established in the shelter of the fortified Priory and c. 1325 the Prior built a port for fishing and trading. This led to a dispute between Tynemouth and the more powerful Newcastle over shipping rights on the Tyne which continued for centuries. Prince Rupert of the Rhine landed at Tynemouth in August 1642 on his way to fight in the English Civil War.
In the late 18th century, sea-bathing became fashionable in Tynemouth from its east-facing beaches. King Edward's Bay and Tynemouth Longsands are very popular with locals and tourists alike. Prior's Haven is a small beach within the mouth of the Tyne, sheltered between the Priory and the Spanish Battery, with the Pier access on its north side. It was popular with Victorian bathers[8] and is now home to Tynemouth Rowing Club and the local sailing club.
King Edward's Bay (possibly a reference to Edward II) is a small beach on the north side of the Priory, sheltered on three sides by cliffs and reached by stairways, or, by the fit and adventurous who understand the weather and tides, over the rocks round the promontories on the north or south sides. Longsands is the next beach to the north, an expanse of fine sand 1200 yards long, lying between the former Tynemouth outdoor swimming pool and Cullercoats to the north.
A lighthouse was built on the North Pier in 1864, but when the pier had to be rebuilt to a new design a new lighthouse was required. The work was undertaken by Trinity House, beginning in 1903; the lighthouse was finished before the pier itself, and was first lit on 15 January 1908. It remains in use today. Before the pier was built, a lighthouse stood within the grounds of Tynemouth Priory and Castle. It was demolished in 1898-99. It stood on the site of the now-disused Coastguard Station.

Here we can see the mouth of the river Tyne and the piers at South Shields and Tynemouth designed to protect shipping in the river and built over fifty years in the second half of the nineteenth century!
Storms on the Tyne were very hazardous to the tidal parts of the river, especially during the nineteenth century when the river became the home of world shipbuilding. Storms could also move the sand which could change the depth of the river with the consequent risk of ship's running aground. Therefore something had to be done.
The pier's construction took from 1845 to 1895 - in a way making it comparable to some great medieval churches in construction time. Only three years after completion, a storm destroyed the central section of the original curved design. The pier was rebuilt in a straighter line and completed in 1909.
Today this massive stone breakwater extends from the foot of the Priory 810 metres out to sea, protecting the northern flank of the mouth of the Tyne. It has a broad walkway on top, where I am in this film. On the lee side is a lower level rail track, formerly used by trains and cranes for loading ships. At the seaward end is a lighthouse.
The pier cost well over GBP1m and today costs around GBP200,000 per year to maintain.
You can see the pier at South Shields which protects the southern flank of the river mouth. To get there you need to return to North Shields and take the ferry across the river.

Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
