South Shields Local History Group are busy putting the final touches to their brand new exhibition 'River Tyne Reflections', which will go on display at the Old Town Hall in South Shields Market Place on September 9th and 10th for Heritage Open Days 2016.

The display will cover various aspects of life and work along the riverside at, and near, South Shields, with accompanying books and maps and a Powerpoint of related images. There will also be a special section featuing Janis Blower's 'Reflections' on the subject.

The exhibition is open from 10 am to 3 pm on Friday 9th and Saturday 10th September and admission is free. Members of the group look forward to welcoming visitors and sharing memories of times past.

As there are steps up to the Old Town Hall there will be an opportunity to view the exhibition at another venue in the near future.
