The Town's Story
Jarrow holds a special place in British social history. The 1936 Jarrow Crusade, when 200 unemployed men marched to London to protest the devastation of their community after Palmer's shipyard closed, became a defining symbol of the Depression era and working-class solidarity.
Before industry arrived, Jarrow was already significant – St Paul's Monastery here was home to the Venerable Bede, the father of English history, in the 7th century. That ancient heritage blends with industrial legacy to give the town its distinctive character.
