The North Shields Shanty. 

😢 quite emotional watching this , it shows how much everything has changed, 😞 I love the northeast, the home of my fathers ❤️ May they all be resting in peace 🙏🏻

Really good. Missing home.

That is fantastic love it get it out there should be NO 1

I've just been there it's so nice

Thanks for the compliment Rob..Coming from a fishing town, i do remember the "cod wars", even though i was a bairn..I still remember when the fish quay in shields had trawlers 3 deep. Then the EU stepped in and spoilt everthing..We knew how to fish and sustain the fish since history began..North shields has a fascinating history..I may have to do a vid..The name 'shields' comes from the word for the old fishing huts the monks of tynemouth priory used..'Shiels' that goes back till the 1300's.

Grows on you this one Dave, love it leaves me a bit misty eyed lol , cheers for the mention for the pictures

I love this because it's the Truth and I shared this on My Current Happenings Playlist!

good one Dave ..

Very nice Dave... I love a song with a story to it and you certainly nailed this one. My Dad came from Wick in Caithnesshire and he well remembered the fishing boats in the harbour, but when I went up there they have all gone. I don't suppose you remember the "cod wars" that the UK had with Iceland over fishing rights. Being an Island you would think the UK would maintain the tradition of fishing. When I lived in Neasden NW10 I sung "the bonnie shoals o' herring" wae the Irish lads in their pubs

That is interesting..:).. I will do some investigating..

Interesting... I remember in Scotland they used the word sheiling as a shelter for shepherds and sheep Looking it up in the dictionary it says Middle English (northern dialect) schele; probably akin to OldFrisian skiāle stable, Old Norse skjōl shelter First Known Use: 13th century

Yes that is my background!

Cheers Jeff..Your welcome...:)

Canny song
