Spanning 150 years of South Shields' changing fortunes, A Tyneside Heritage is a pioneering work of interwoven local and family history.

After the nineteenth-century boom years of coal exporting and shipbuilding for global markets came the First World War, then the mass unemployment and political turbulence of the 1930s. Luftwaffe bombing in the Second World War was followed by the peacetime challenge of attracting new industrial development.

Against this background, four generations of the Chapman family played a leading role in the town and in County Durham as businessmen, soldiers, borough councillors, sportsmen, philanthropists and representatives of royalty.

Peter S. Chapman enjoyed a career in housing, founding a niche consultancy firm. He is a non-executive director of several companies. He has been Chair of a number of charities in his fields of interest, including the Levantine Foundation (working on manuscript restoration projects in Egypt), the Friends of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Cambridge (where he sponsored an annual lecture for a decade) and a local youth charity, Kensington Dragons Football Club. Living in London, he retains close links with the North East. He is an active member of the South Shields Local History Group, having delivered two lectures on themes from A Tyneside Heritage. He has written numerous articles and edited housing reports and publications. This is his first book.
