Our Past, Your Future
Our Past, Your Future is an ambitious project to map the North of Tyne’s unique and rich heritage of industry and innovation. The project will deliver targeted schools and community-based activities that will help foster the career aspirations of our young people in the fields of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
Our map showcases the region’s rich heritage of innovation in the fields of science, industry and technology.
Explore the entries on the interactive map above and find out more about the people places and objects that have shaped the development of science and industry from pre-history to the modern day.
The map is constantly evolving and is being co-created alongside individuals, communities, companies and schools.
We need your help to make sure that the map highlights as many great and diverse people, places and objects from our region. If you have a suggestion for a new entry or would like to contribute to an existing entry you can do so by completing this form.
