• 📍Arbeia, South Shields Roman Fort — All events

This exhibition at South Shields Museum & Art Gallery commemorates the Jarrow Crusade of 1936, when around 200 unemployed men marched from Jarrow to London to protest poverty and mass unemployment caused by the decline of Tyneside shipbuilding and heavy industry. Running until February 2027, the display in the stairwell gallery honours this landmark moment in British labour and social history.
