To start my research off, I decided to head home to North Shields as one of the themes I had considered was to do with the coast, fishing towns, and all that came with that territory.
The day was quite peaceful as I just went at my own pace, and there was barely anyone around. I began by heading to North Shields Fish Quay (a fishing port close to the mouth of the River Tyne), going to the Old Low Light, visiting small beaches nearby, before walking along the promenade to Tynemouth (another town a short distance away).
