The Old Low Light North Shields
-
Description
"The Old Low Light is a Grade II listed building, the oldest surviving, occupied building on North Shields Fish Quay. It began life as a lighthouse, belonging to Trinity House of Newcastle upon Tyne and was enclosed by Clifford’s Fort in 1672. In the early 19th century, it was converted into an Almshouse and after being saved from demolition in the 1980`s by the joint efforts of North Tyneside Council & the Tyne & Wear Building Preservation Trust, it was used as a sea fisheries training centre and later the Maritime Volunteer Service. Eventually, another project by the Preservation Trust brought it to its present state & it is now used as a Heritage Centre.
