Description
While walking down Grainger Street I noticed this plaque high-up on the first floor of a building fronting a corner of the street not far from Grey's Monument. Nice to think of a red-shirted Garibaldi popping-in to buy his books here. GUIESEPPE GARIBALDI (1807-1882 ) was the Italian nationalist and leader in the struggle for Italian unification. In 1854, Garibaldi sailed into the River Tyne as master of an American ship the Commonwealth . He stayed at a house in in Huntington Place, Tynemouth where a blue plaque commemorates his stay "while visiting Tynemouth to brief local political and industrial leaders on his plans for a unified Italy".
