Strategically situated on the south bank of the Tyne Estuary, South Shields became famous for shipyards, coalmines, saltpans and glassmaking, all of which achieved major importance until the last shipyard closed in 1984, the last pit in 1991, when it had the highest unemployment rate in mainland Britain. A fierce Celtic tribe, Brigantes, were the earliest inhabitants of the town, which they named Caer Urfa meaning ‘fortified place’. On the Lawe Top, overlooking the Tyne, stands a large Roman fort, Arbeia, founded around 120AD containing the only permanent granaries yet found in Britain.
