We are gradually building a full picture of the various anarchist groups throughout the region, and hope to someday publish a full history.
Were you part of an anarchist group during the 1930s 1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s etc etc in the North East of England ?
Would / could you possibly write down any memories you have and email them to us ?
Do you remember group activities, numbers, what literature was produced ?
Do you want to donate / copy any literature ?
Obviously all correspondence can be treat anonymously.
Every bit of information helps, no matter how large or small, for example the following quote we found elsewhere..
“”Back in the late 70’s early 80’s our group encompassed the whole region and went under the name of Tyne & Wear Anarchist Group (TWAG); we also had a Tyne & Wear DAM. TWAG had around 6 regular activists in Sunderland, a similar number in Gateshead, the same in Newcastle and a member out in Blyth. TWAG would also regularly link up with comrades in Middlesbrough and Darlington.””
“Tomorrow history will be written by experts who were far removed from the events and personnel concerned and they will deliver their emphatic interpretations and verdicts. We here are talking about protagonists who will be excluded from all the histories as yet unwritten.”
Oh, and I know this is technically Teesside antifascist history rather than Tyneside anarchism, but I've seen there's a push to commemorate the memory of the Battle of Stockton recently - no idea if there were any anarchos in Stockton at the time, but if there were I'm sure they would've been getting stuck in.
yes,we have and know about all. thankyou for your response though
Just bumping this to add that anarcho-history nerds anywhere may be interested in the 1963 issue of Direct Action they've just put up: https://tynesideanarchistarchive.wordpress.com/2018/08/05/tom-brown-in-birtley/
Rival to the silver bands, some well known, were the bazooka bands, the “bazooka” [kazoo] being a sixpenny instrument one hummed into. About 40 of these, with drums made quite a noise. All the bands – there must have been a few hundred of them in the country, including children’s bands – were in costume, a condition being that the costume should not cost a great deal. Sometimes 20 bands would take part in a local carnival, tramping miles to the site. I recall one fat man who, dressed as a sultan in the remains of a bedspread, marched at the head of his “harem” of 40 women, a very proud sultan he looked, and the “Tramps”, each wearing a battered bowler and spats, who played their tune, then sang, “We’re on the road to anywhere” like a choir. There were bands of Zulu warriors, Red Indians, knights in tincan armour, battalions of Fred Karno’s Army, bands of mermaids (the most difficult of the lot) and of pirates (the easiest).

i would love to have been there to see the faces when the 20 or so Chopwell Anarchists / miners who turned up .
Thanks for that tyneside anarchist. I first met Ewan through the student movement, likewise he then became a dear friend of mine. I'll miss him, as will many others.
sorry to hear that. Our thoughts to all of his friends, comrades and family.
Just reposted the obituary on our site.
Anyone know anything about Yankee Jim Roberts, former Wobbly and "Geordie miner" but possibly originally from Kentucky? He's mentioned in P. Wood's book about the folk-singing Elliott mining family of Birtley as being a friend of theirs and a political influence. According to the book he'd returned to the UK after he'd "been chased out of the USA for his politics" and worked alongside the Elliotts at the local pit.
i,ll check this weekend as iam sure i read something about the Elliott family recently, cant remember where but will backtrack
Don't You Hear the H-bomb's Thunder?: Youth and Politics on Tyneside in the Late 'Fifties and Early 'Sixties
by John Charlton
is where i recently read aboot the elliotts, cant recall J Roberts tho...sorry
OK, thanks. Roberts seems a very obscure, likely interesting, character.
Two bits of great news. Firstly we have been given a double CD of the interview, and the radio slots that local labour historian Ray Challinor did with Tom Brown during the early 1970’s. I must admit, after searching for info etc on Tom Brown for next to 30 years, that it was quite a moment to actually hear him speaking. The booming voice of the Tyneside shipyards, now 70 odd years old with a frail old voice, but not without his passion for the ‘struggle’. After contemplation, we have decided to give these to the Kate Sharpley Library for possible audio on-line release, so keep an eye out for that.
Great, I've been building an archive of anarchist audio and would love to know when its available
Two of our latest posts
interview we did
https://tynesideanarchistarchive.wordpress.com/2020/04/05/interview/
Good interview.
"during the 1980’s there was an explosion of anarchist activity and groups in North East England yet none of this is accounted for, or barely mentioned, in the national anarchist press of the period, and especially in the contacts section of papers like Freedom."
Let us know when the book comes out!
Issues 9 (September 1986) to 12 (February 1987) of Tyneside Syndicalist. As ever the download link / PDF,s are below picture. Issue 9 has a special feature on the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, whilst Issue 12 is a landmark issue as the paper eventually had a name change from being ‘The Syndicalist’ to becoming ‘Tyneside Syndicalist’.
And…as a matter of ‘historical regional trivia’ ! a small group of us in Gateshead used to regularly sell a small amount of each issue (10-15 or so) alongside Class War etc, not very successfully at times, yet there was a notable increase when the name change occurred….
They say all good things come to an end, and so it is with The Tyneside Syndicalist. After Issue 16, it was decided at a readers meeting to put the paper ‘on ice’ for the time being, lack of finances, burnout, and new projects beckoning all contributed (read more in our forthcoming history). Unfortunately, the ice never melted and the paper was never again produced.
Issue 13 – March 1987, Issue 14 – May 1987 has a May Day supplement, Issue 15 – June / July 1987 is the pictured (and my favorite cover), whilst the final Issue 16 – Winter 1987 contains a special supplement commemorating (or commiserating the failings and authoritarian result of much of …) the 70th anniversary of the Russian Revolution.
If you've not scanned it already, the Sparrow's Nest have just digitised the 2000s Secret Anarchist History of Newcastle pamphlet/zine: http://www.thesparrowsnest.org.uk/collections/public_archive/11665.pdf
yes, spotted that. thanks. we just waiting for author to remember exactly what year published before we put on our website with a review (as it completely misses out the 1980,s etc)
Pretty sure it must be 2008 - looking at the back page listings, says "2008 is its 4th year" about Projectile and mentions that there's a 2008 Wor Diary with "more to come in 2009".
"Sad to hear of the death this morning of Nigel Todd. I first met Nigel whilst doing a free 'Trade union + labour studies' course early 90,s where he taught the history section of the course. Upon hearing of my anarchism he keenly sent me his books for free (pictured). Nigel also read / commented on the beginnings of my 'soon to come' book, of which he eagerly awaited, and was excited at some further discoveries i had made around about the 'Clousden Hill' period..alas not to be. A keen supporter and friend of Tyneside Anarchist Archive. RIP Nigel."

That is sad - I read and enjoyed "In Excited Times" recently - good book.
""The Newcastle Ewan Brown Anarchist bookfair collective are meeting again and have a provisional date (just awaiting final confirmation), Saturday 21st May 2022.

Tyneside Syndicalist 5 - 8
https://tynesideanarchistarchive.wordpress.com/2020/10/17/tyneside-syndicalist-5-8/
https://tynesideanarchistarchive.wordpress.com/2020/10/24/the-tyneside-syndicalist-issues-9-12/
Issues 9 (September 1986) to 12 (February 1987) of Tyneside Syndicalist. As ever the download link / PDF,s are below picture. Issue 9 has a special feature on the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, whilst Issue 12 is a landmark issue as the paper eventually had a name change from being ‘The Syndicalist’ to becoming ‘Tyneside Syndicalist’.
And…as a matter of ‘historical regional trivia’ ! a small group of us in Gateshead used to regularly sell a small amount of each issue (10-15 or so) alongside Class War etc, not very successfully at times, yet there was a notable increase when the name change occurred….
https://tynesideanarchistarchive.wordpress.com/2020/10/31/the-tyneside-syndicalist-13-16/
They say all good things come to an end, and so it is with The Tyneside Syndicalist. After Issue 16, it was decided at a readers meeting to put the paper ‘on ice’ for the time being, lack of finances, burnout, and new projects beckoning all contributed (read more in our forthcoming history). Unfortunately, the ice never melted and the paper was never again produced.
Issue 13 – March 1987, Issue 14 – May 1987 has a May Day supplement, Issue 15 – June / July 1987 is the pictured (and my favorite cover), whilst the final Issue 16 – Winter 1987 contains a special supplement commemorating (or commiserating the failings and authoritarian result of much of …) the 70th anniversary of the Russian Revolution.

If you've not scanned it already, the Sparrow's Nest have just digitised the 2000s Secret Anarchist History of Newcastle pamphlet/zine: http://www.thesparrowsnest.org.uk/collections/public_archive/11665.pdf
yes, spotted that. thanks. we just waiting for author to remember exactly what year published before we put on our website with a review (as it completely misses out the 1980,s etc)
Pretty sure it must be 2008 - looking at the back page listings, says "2008 is its 4th year" about Projectile and mentions that there's a 2008 Wor Diary with "more to come in 2009".

"Sad to hear of the death this morning of Nigel Todd. I first met Nigel whilst doing a free 'Trade union + labour studies' course early 90,s where he taught the history section of the course. Upon hearing of my anarchism he keenly sent me his books for free (pictured). Nigel also read / commented on the beginnings of my 'soon to come' book, of which he eagerly awaited, and was excited at some further discoveries i had made around about the 'Clousden Hill' period..alas not to be. A keen supporter and friend of Tyneside Anarchist Archive. RIP Nigel."
