The Old Low Light Heritage Centre is thanking people who have responded to its call for knitted herring for its new exhibition about the important role of women in fishing and maritime industries over time.

‘That’s Women’s Work’, an exhibition about the important role of women in fishing and maritime industries over time opens tomorrow (Wednesday 21 July) at the Old Low Light Heritage Centre, North Shields Fish Quay.

We are very pleased to announce that the café and galleries will re-open on Wednesday 21 July.

Our Trustees have agreed that the Old Low Light Heritage Centre café and galleries will re-open in late July.

The Old Low Light Heritage Centre has been awarded £24,000 from a trust set up almost 100 years ago by Sir James Knott, a North Shields shipping magnate, entrepreneur and philanthropist.

A new website launched this week will help the Old Low Light Heritage Centre on North Shields Fish Quay with its re-opening plans.
