Mariners cottages in South Shields

Just some of a fair few Mariners cottages in this part of old South Shields, historic, unique and characterful residences. Dating from the 1840's and built to house seafarers and their families, no two properties are exactly the same. Every individual cottage is Grade II Listed and these Victorian alms houses and their gardens make up a designated Conservation Area.
