Additional information
Event description
Join regional news icon Mike Neville as he journeys along the North East’s three great rivers – the Tyne, Wear and Tees. Originally aired in Tyne Tees Television’s 1962 Your Heritage series, this trio of films explores each river from source to sea, capturing their industrial, urban, rural, and historic character. Playful and insightful, the series offers a vivid snapshot of the region’s social and economic life in the early 60’s.
The films will be followed by a talk from a local historian – talk TBC.
