The Story Of the Word By Michael Chaplin

Michael Chaplin, the writer of the acclaimed Book ‘Tyne View’ and the hit play ‘Tyne’, has been commissioned to create the ‘theming’ of the building, internal and external, around the borough’s 2000-year history of trade with every continent around the globe.

In this entertaining talk at Arbeia he will tell this extraordinary and occasionally jaw-dropping story, which begins with the Romans (who else?) and continues to the present day.
