Ferry terminal, South Shields
The South Shields Ferry Terminal NZ3567 : South Shields Ferry Terminal, built by Harbour & General, was officially opened in July 1999. It consists of a 50m steel bascule bridge, with prominent counterweight (shown here), leading to a 32 square metre reinforced concrete pontoon. The landing provides three berths as well as an indoor waiting room and offices. The landing was built at the Pallion Yard in Sunderland and transported by sea as a floating vessel. It was named Maisie’s Landing after Councillor Maisie Stewart, who at the time was Lord Mayor of South Shields.

The number of Tyne ferries between Ryton and the sea has gradually reduced from more than 30 to just this one. North and South Shields used to have three: the Whitehill Point Ferry, the 'Horse & cart' and the cheap, 'Halfpenny Dodger', which landed at Comical Corner. The current ferry is operated by Nexus which runs the Tyne & Wear Metro. Nexus is Greek for 'link'.
