About
'The Tale of the Herring' is a project run by Newcastle University's Dove Marine Laboratory in Cullercoats. Celebrating the fishing heritage in five ports in eastern England, the project features a touring exhibition and work created by schools in 2011. Take a look around, learn more about the history of the ports, and submit your own photos and stories.
