Industrial history illustrated
Way back in 1980 a mural designed by D. Wilkinson was painted by a
Youth Enterprise Project team in Commercial Road, South Shields, it
is huge and attempts to depict the history of the town from
it’s Roman beginnings up to the industrial era of the 1970s,
my guess is the mural is around 100 yards long! It is hand painted
on a retaining wall of an old railway embankment that used to carry
trains into Low Shields station (long since demolished).
It has recently been refurbished for the second time and is once
again full of colour.
The coordinates listed will take you to the location of the mural
where you can obtain the information to solve the puzzle revealing
the final cache location.
