A building on the corner of Fowler Street, South Shields
My wife, who stands outside, worked one of her very first jobs here when this building was a shoe shop, around 35 years ago or so. Her Nana also cleaned here (one of her three cleaning jobs!) That's roots that is.

In its 35 years of service the station had been used by over 50 million passengers, including tens of thousands or Great North Run athletes and spectators. The station had also featured in a song by pop group Franz Ferdinand. See: https://co-curate.ncl.ac.uk/south-shields-metro-station/
