Gateshead Local History Society was formed in September 1964 by Gateshead Libraries and the membership has continued to grow each year.

We meet at Gateshead Central Library on the Third Thursday of each month from September to May (excluding December) at 7.30pm and the annual subscription is £3.00.

Our local history nights are made up of various activities such as:

- Talks by visiting speakers some of whom are from other local history groups in the area

- Research activities

- Occasional visits to historic places of interest

We very much hope you can join us, for further information please contact the Society on (0191) 419 5673 or Gateshead Central Library on (0191) 433 8400.
