Smith's Dock is a historic shipbuilding and repair complex with origins in the early 19th century. Founded in 1810 by Thomas Smith, it grew to become a leading company in the British maritime industry. It opened its dock on the River Tyne in 1851 and was officially named Smith's Dock Co. in 1891. Although it ceased shipbuilding in North Shields in 1910, it remained a major player in ship repair and became known for its contribution to World War II, including the design of the Flower-class corvettes. Today, the area has been redeveloped into a modern residential area while preserving its industrial heritage, including the characteristic waterfront Smokehouses.
