Historic Shop Shutter, Station Road, Wallsend
This historic shop shutter is part of a project to brighten up Wallsend town centre, and to spark fresh interest in local heritage. There are a total of 18 shop shutters decorated with images from Wallsend’s rich history with scenes ranging from ship launches and trams to workers leaving Swan Hunter’s shipyard, a former cinema on Station Road, and the narrow streets of old Wallsend. This one shows the workforce from Swan Hunter’s Shipyard making their way home after a day’s work. The project forms part of the North Tyneside Council’s 'Ambition for Wallsend' initiative.

Bus and Metro Stations at Wallsend
The two public transport stations in Wallsend are placed next to each other, to the great convenience of passengers. As can be seen, the Metro platform is a bit of a climb up, although there is a long ramp further along.
