Always called, 'Wor Harry' by the charabanc-load of brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles and aunts in North Shields, Harry Malcolm was the last of his family to work on the River Tyne.

The memories he recounts stretch from the end of the nineteenth century in a poor community that thrived on love, laughter and resourcefulness despite two world wars, mass unemployment and opportunity hampered by poverty.He wrote about his youth for his granddaughters Rachel and Ruth, to show them how much had changed since he was a boy.
