LOCAL HISTORY HUB SOUTH TYNESIDE
Teacher-led, grassroots, and rooted in belonging.
The South Tyneside Local History Hub brings together schools, museums and heritage partners to support high-quality, place-based history across the borough. The hub helps children explore the people, places and stories that have shaped South Tyneside, strengthening local pride and a sense of connection to where they live.
Through curriculum support, collaborative projects and local storytelling, the hub makes it easier for schools and communities to work together and celebrate South Tyneside’s rich and diverse heritage.
