A very elegant garden square near the centre of North Shields.

A life-size sculpture of a fisher-woman carrying a basket, wearing a traditional shawl and full skirts represents the old North Shields tradition of the Wooden Dolly. There have been 'dollies' at various locations in the town for over 200 years Image The one standing here was carved in oak in 1958 by Robert Thompson Ltd. of Kilburn, Yorkshire, traditional furniture makers and craftsmen famous for their trademark of an often concealed small wooden mouse Image It replaced an earlier version erected here in 1902. http://www.tomorrows-history.com/public_item.php?collection=91&item=15077&flag=C

This is the fifth wooden dolly to have been erected in North Shields but the first to be located in Northumberland Square. It was erected in 1958 and was based on the fourth wooden dolly, a lifelike representation of a traditional Cullercoats fishwife with her shawl and creel. It was carved from a single piece of mahogany by the celebrated sculptor and furniture maker Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson and features two of the artist's signature concealed mice. However, by 2019, the dolly was showing serious signs of rot, and was therefore transported to the 'Mouseman' workshop in Kilburn, North Yorkshire, where it was originally carved, for restoration. In September 2020, the restored wooden dolly, seen here, was returned to Northumberland Square where it can now be admired. The sixth wooden dolly, which appeared in 1992, can be seen on the Custom House Quay site where the first four wooden dollies were located https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3582630.
