Tynemouth Est. 625 AD Sweatshirt Unisex

Tynemouth holds a special place in our hearts in the Norsh family - it’s where our grandparents met at a dance at the Plaza in the 1950s, so without Tynemouth, quite literally, there’d be no us (and definitely no Norsh). Our Tynemouth Est. 625 AD Sweatshirt is our little nod to a place that’s been part of our family story for generations.

The official history goes back *quite* a bit further than ours... Tynemouth’s headland has more than 2,000 years of history, with tradition dating its first monastery to around 625 AD. It went on to become the burial place of Northumbrian kings, survive Viking raids and develop into the Priory and Castle that still watches over the mouth of the Tyne today.

Crafted from a cotton-rich blend with a brushed fleece interior, this sweatshirt delivers warmth and softness that lasts. The classic crew neck and relaxed fit make it perfect for layering or wearing on its own - ideal for a wander along Longsands, a mooch down Front Street or whatever the North Sea weather decides to throw at you.

Each sweatshirt features intricate embroidered detailing, proudly displaying “Tynemouth Est. 625 AD” - a nod to more than a thousand years of history on our little stretch of the North East coast.

Why you’ll love it

It’s a little bit of Tynemouth you can wear. For the locals, the ones who’ve moved away, the Sunday strollers, the Longsands regulars and anyone whose idea of a family day out somehow always ends up involving Front Street. And for us, it’s a reminder that sometimes a night out in Tynemouth can have consequences lasting several generations.
