Extract

It has long been known that the Romans had a camp at South Shields. The entrance into the Tyne was strongly protected by them. On the north bank of the river was a fort where Tynemouth Priory now stands, and another at Blake Chesters, about two miles to the west of Tynemouth. On the south bank were the camps of South Shields and Jarrow.
