I'll pace it out for you on Sunday Styx.

[memor]

Do you want it by terrestial distance (ie:- down one end along to the Jarrow tunnel and along the north side)

or do you want me to walk across with a tape measure. End to end.

[Pilot]

if I remember right its about 360 yards from pier to pier.

[styx]

nice ones baldy and memor and thanx pilot

[andysfootball]

thinking about a swim

after the new crown styx ?

[styx]

Its a bit too cold for that at the moment andy, it was just a talking point in the club where i go

[Pilot]

Oh and I was wrong it was 360 metres not yards sorry.

[styx]

ah well pilot whats 33.696 yards between friends, thanks again

[sless]

hey styx here is another talking point if you want

South Shields pier is 5,170ft in length (or for those who have been metricated, 1553m).

Construction started in 1854 (same as the North pier), and it was finally completed in 1895 (again - same as the North pier.)

Just as a comparison in length......the North pier is 2,952ft (or 888m long).

[styx]

we were talking about that today sless, but where does the measurement start at the beach side

[Axeman]

Well according to something I love....Google Earth.

Between lighthouses its 388 meters.

[Pilot]

I was talking about pier to pier not the lighthouses

[Axeman]
