South Shields is 1.9 miles SW of Tynemouth, Northumberland which encompasses the area containing North Shields, 1.4 miles North SOUTH SHIELDS "This important seaport is situated on the south bank of the Tyne, at its confluence with the German Ocean, at the north-eastern extremity of the county, and is opposite to North Shields, 9 miles from Newcastle-on-Tyne, 18 1/2 miles north-north-east from Durham, 6 miles from Sunderland, and 276 miles north-north-west from London. South Shields has arisen in modern times from an insignificant village, consisting mainly of a few fisherman's huts, to an important and thriving seaport. It has crept along age after age, and year after year, until now it stretches from the sea to Jarrow, a distance of about 3 miles, and also extends into the adjoining township of Westoe, forming with the latter the municipal borough of South Shields, with an area of 1780 acres."
