The South Shields Gazette a local newpaper also reported on the Jarrow March...
The Gazette wrote at the time: "The tramp, tramp of Jarrow men, swinging onwards, marching half the length of England, carrying the woes and troubles of not only their own town, but of all distressed areas, to the capital, is beating out history as it awakens the echoes of the villages and towns on its route. It was an act of courage and comradeship, to carry a petition for action to the government of the day, forced upon them by the desperation of years of unemployment in the north east."
