  • North Shields Town Trail
    North Shields Town Trail The North Shields Town Trail is a two and half mile circular walk around the town which includes the town centre, Linskill Centre, Northumberland Park and the Fish Quay. The walk takes in many places of interest and buildings of historical note. There is a section of the route (to the Fish Quay via Tanners Bank and back via Union Quay Stairs) which has limited access. An accessible route is available from exiting Northumberland Park and rejoins the route at Tyne Street. The majority of the route is level and on designated footpaths however some surfaces are uneven in places and the terrain in Northumberland Park is undulating. The large print version is designed to be used in conjunction with the published trail, or a version downloaded from www.northshieldstowntrail.org, which includes a detailed route map. North Shields has a vibrant town centre; a green haven in the lovingly restored Victorian era Northumberland Park and a historic working fish quay. Three distinct characteristics of the town are brought together in a circular walk. Step out and discover more about the town’s past, the natural life that thrives in urban North Shields and the fascinating story of the Fish Quay. The original settlement dates to the early 1200s when a series of “shielings” or “shiels” – fisherman’s huts – were established on the Fish Quay. It is from these dwellings that the town gets its name, the shielings being on the North bank of the river. As the town developed, it spread away from the Fish Quay in the 18th Century to its current location with the building of elegant town houses that were home to the wealthy.

This is an appeal from a decision of the Registrar of Trade Marks relating to the question whether one of the original members of a disbanded musical group is entitled to register the name of the group as his trade mark despite objection from another of the original members of the group. The decision under appeal was issued by Mr. George Salthouse on behalf of the Registrar under reference BL O-311-08 on 18 November 2008. I understand that there have in the past been extended negotiations with a view to settling the dispute, but that the parties were in the end unable to reach a compromise. -1- GH\ ANIMALS DECISION 4.9.13.docx O-369-13 The Animals 2.

  • The House of the Rising Sun
    The House of the Rising Sun "The House of the Rising Sun" is a folk song from the United States. It tells of a life gone wrong in New Orleans. The most successful commercial version was recorded by the English rock group The Animals in 1964, which was a number one hit Like many classic folk ballads, the authorship of "The House of the Rising Sun" is unknown. Alan Price of The Animals has claimed that the song was originally a sixteenth-century English folk song about a Soho brothel, and that English emigrants took the song to America where it was adapted to its later New Orleans setting. The oldest known existing recording is by Appalachian artists was made in 1933. An interview with Eric Burdon revealed that he first heard the song in a club in Newcastle, England, where it was sung by a Northumbrian folk singer. The Animals were on tour with Chuck Berry and chose it because they wanted something distinctive to sing. This interview denies assertions that the inspiration for their arrangement came from Dylan. The band enjoyed a huge hit with the song, much to Dylan's chagrin when his version was referred to as a cover, and that Dylan stopped playing the song after The Animals' hit because fans accused Dylan of plagiarism. Dylan has said he first heard The Animals' version on his car radio and "jumped out of his car seat" because he liked it so much. Various places in New Orleans have been proposed as the inspiration for the song.

  • The British Invasion: Finding Traction in America by Piacentino Vona A
    The British Invasion: Finding Traction in America by Piacentino Vona A thesis presented to the University Of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Piacentino Vona 2018 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract As a period of American History, the 1960s has provided historians and academics with a wealth of material for research and scholarship. Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon, the Vietnam War, the hippie era, and the Civil Rights Movement, among other topics have received thorough historical discussion and debate. Music was another key aspect in understanding the social history of the 1960s. But unlike the people and events mentioned above, historians have devoted less attention to music in the historical landscape. The British Invasion was one such key event that impacted America in the 1960s. Bands such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Who found their way into the United States and majorly impacted American society. Using secondary sources, newspaper articles, interviews and documentaries on these bands, this thesis explores the British Invasion and its influence in the context of 1960s America. This thesis explores multiple bands that came in the initial wave. It follows these bands from 1964-1969, and argues that the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Who shared common multiple factors that allowed them to attain the traction to succeed and to maintain that success in the United States.
