These follow his involvement in the restoration of ‘The Royal Visit to the Tyne’ by North Shields artist John Davison Liddell (1859-1942), which depicts the Prince and Princess of Wales (the future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra) on their visit to the Tyne in 1884 to perform the official opening of the Albert Edward Dock.He will also talk about a recently restored painting by James Shotton as well as a newly discovered painting by the same artist, both of which depict the North Shields riverside at the end of the 19th century.In addition, he will include some paintings by John Falconar Slater, from Cullercoats, who is the subject of a recent book by the late Northumberland art historian Marshall Hall, along with paintings and drawings of the fish quay through the ages as seen by other North East artists.David, himself a collector of fine art, said: “I love the fish quay, and these paintings provide a unique first-hand insight into the history of the area over time and show how important it was to the development of North Shields.” - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/north-shields/new-insights-into-the-history-of-the-fish-quay-through-artists-eyes/100001994413163460 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: NE30 1JE - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 3.41, max: 6.13, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: North Shields - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: NE30 1JE - **lat**: 55.01014350000001 - **long**: -1.4336849 - **full address**: NE30 1JE, Cliffords Fort, North Shields, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE HISTORY OF THE FISH QUAY THROUGH ARTISTS’ EYES - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/0612c8ff016c8edb8ba038e4e118c505858bc1fb62c0c6c4033b2205c142c190-rimg-w1024-h619-dcc1d4dc-gmir.jpg?v=1784387735 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE HISTORY OF THE FISH QUAY THROUGH ARTISTS EYES being held? - **A:** NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE HISTORY OF THE FISH QUAY THROUGH ARTISTS EYES takes place on Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 12:00 pm at NE30 1JE, Cliffords Fort, North Shields, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE HISTORY OF THE FISH QUAY THROUGH ARTISTS EYES? - **A:** NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE HISTORY OF THE FISH QUAY THROUGH ARTISTS EYES is organized by The Old Low Light. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
