Our grandparents and great-grandparents called the town home, and after growing up along the coast in Whitley Bay, it felt right that we’d come back to Shields to raise our own families. It’s our happy place, our home and, fittingly, where Norsh began - and where it got its name, from the first few letters of \u003cstrong\u003eNOR\u003c\/strong\u003eth \u003cstrong\u003eSH\u003c\/strong\u003eields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe official North Shields story goes back to 1225, when fishermen’s huts known as ‘shielings’ were built around the mouth of the Pow Burn to supply nearby Tynemouth Priory with fish. Over time, ‘shielings’ became shortened to ‘shiels’ and eventually ‘shields’ - giving North Shields the name we know today. From those few huts, the town grew into a busy fishing and trading port along the Tyne - despite Newcastle spending a fair few centuries trying to stop it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from soft organic cotton with a touch of stretch, our North Shields beanie has a classic fisherman-style rib and foldable brim for a comfortable, easy fit. Basically, exactly what you want when the wind coming off the North Sea has other ideas about your hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach beanie is finished with embroidered “North Shields Est. 1225” detailing - a little nod to nearly 800 years of history on this corner of the North East coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e95% organic ring-spun combed cotton \/ 5% elastane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft, stretchy and comfortable to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x1 fisherman rib\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour shaping seams at the top for a neat fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoldable brim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbroidered “North Shields Est. 1225” design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned in North Shields, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you’ll love it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a little bit of North Shields you can stick on your head.
