Jubilee Memorial, South Shields


Ocean Road

  • Description

    The South Shields Lifeboat Memorial, also known as the Wouldhave Memorial, is a grand structure built in 1889 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. However, its significance goes far beyond the occasion. Designed by architect J.H. Morton, the memorial incorporates a clock tower in the Baroque style. But the true heart of the monument lies in its dedication to William Wouldhave, a local boat builder credited with pioneering the self-righting lifeboat in 1789.
