Coal, Ships and Zeppelins: North Tyneside in the First World War

Ships had to be built, engined and repaired if the war was to be won, and the shipyards and engine works of North Tyneside rose to the challenge. But both shipyard and coal mine also had to overcome labour shortages as many of their best workers rushed to join up and fight the enemy. This thought-provoking exhibition uses ship models and other museum collections together with photographs, documents and film to tell the story of the people of North Tyneside. The exhibition also features the remains of an incendiary bomb dropped on Wallsend during the Zeppelin raid of April 14th 1915.
