	North Shields Tynesides Fishing Port - NORTH COUNTRY WEB
		Fish and Chips are an integral part of British life and many would identify them as the national dish yet few people consider the risks, the human endurance required to catch the fish and the human cost in lives over the years to provide such a nourishing and universally popular meal.
		The fishing industry at North Shields came of age with the advent of steam, grew, prospered, and died all within a time period of less than a century – one hundred years The large steam trawling fleets have sailed into history and are in danger of being forgotten.
		Yet North Shields was at the forefront of this change and the man who is credited with the introduction and application of steam to trawl fishing is William Purdy, a native of the town.

	Memory 103 - North Shields Fish Quay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		I was always impressed by the hustle and bustle of the Fish Quay — the Seine boats coming in, landing the fish, and swinging the herring ashore, a great deal of activity made noisier by the steel wheels on the barrels trundling along on the wooden blocks and then on to the concrete.
		The herring boats used to land their fish at the quay during the summer months, from the third week in April until the second or third week in September, when the herring were off our part of the coast on their journey south to the Anglian fishing grounds.
		Fish was normally shelved, which meant laying it on racks in the boat, a layer of cod between layers of ice.

	About the Fish Filleting Training School (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		North Shields Fish Quay has a rich and vibrant history providing both past economic prosperity and a major contribution to the cultural identity of North Shields and Tynemouth.
		In 1672, Clifford’s Fort was built as part of a network of coastal defences and the Fish Quay grew from a place where local boats traded in crabs and salmon to become one of the most important fishing ports in England.
		Due to a decline in North Sea fish stocks, however, the scale of the fishing industry is a fraction of what it was in its heyday.

		The North Shields guano and fish oil works, famous for its pungency, was opened in 1888 near the quay and followed in 1901 by the Tyne Brand factory which began by canning herring and later became a household name for tinned foods.
		The other giant of the Fish Quay was Richard Irvin, a pioneer of steam trawlers who ran over 300 boats and employed so many people that its 1913 headquarters building included a banking system for staff.
		However, it sums up a situation where the fishing industry has shrunk and it has been recognised that the Fish Quay is at a critical juncture in its history.

		The 50-year-old skipper, who is based in North Shields, Tyneside, said members did not disagree with conservation measures but said there were far fewer boats fishing these days and stocks were recovering.
		Under this discredited scheme, other EU states have continued to expand their fleets (with subsidy), fishery protection is virtually non-existent at their home ports, and there is no mention, in the current proposals, of stopping the Danes lifting thousand of tonnes of sand-eels (cod's basic feed stock) which they turn into animal feed.
		Governments owe it to fishing communities to offer financial support to those who will lose work through new quotas, but the cuts are necessary if we are to have a fishery at all in 10-20 years time.
