Tyneside Sounds Society #4 - Coasts and Memory

The Tyneside Sounds Society is a monthly broadcast dedicated to the recording and reinterpretation of the sonic environment and sound heritage of Tyneside in the North East of England.

In this episode, Michael McHugh presents an oblique portrait of Tyneside’s rich maritime history, drawing on a selection of interviews from the Tyne & Wear Archives & Museum’s 2005 Memorynet project.

MemoryNet was a large oral history and photography dedicated to the recording and documentation of the cultural heritage and life experiences of people connected to the sea and the coastal communities of Tyne & Wear in the North East of England.
