The shifting seasons of the Tyne: A coastal record
In short: Experience the dramatic meteorological shifts of the River Tyne through a documentary that captures the harbor's atmosphere across four distinct seasons.
This 2012 documentary by Alikivi serves as a visual record of the weather changes at the mouth of the River Tyne. It features first-hand accounts from three local figures: tugboatman Duncan Stephenson, fisherman Graham Slesser, and sailing instructor Allan Moore, each reflecting on their unique relationship with the water.
The film preserves specific historical details, including footage of Littlehaven beach before the construction of the modern sea wall and promenade. It concludes with a vibrant look at the 2011 Mouth of the Tyne Festival, featuring a firework display and street performers.
