South Shields is located at the mouth of the Tyne and has been established as a port since Roman times. Roman artefacts are on display in the museum on the site of an excavated Roman fort, Arbeia which was abandoned at the beginning of the 5th century. The Prior and Convent of Durham really developed the town and in the 18th century the chemical industry became important with the town having the largest alkali works in the world.
