Description

A Tyneside Heritage by Peter Chapman Spanning 150 years of South Shields' changing fortunes, this book is a pioneering work of interwoven local and family history. It explores the town's transformation from a booming coal-exporting and shipbuilding centre to a post-war industrial challenge. Against this backdrop, the lives of four generations of the Chapman family are revealed. As businessmen, soldiers, borough councillors, sportsmen, philanthropists and representatives of royalty, they played a leading role in the town and County Durham. Their stories are woven into the fabric of the town's history, providing a unique insight into the region's past. Hardcover, 424 pages, first published in 2021.
