Results from the establishment in 1925 of a Bureau of Social Research for Tyneside, headed by H A Mess, and promoted by the local Christian church as the most practical contribution by members of the latter to promote the welfare of distressed people damaged by industrial depression. Deals in particular with the experience of shipbuilding & repairing, marine engineering and coal extraction - numbers employed, methods of engagement, hours and conditions of work, health and safety, short term fluctuations in employment and long term trends, etc. Sheds light on the industry as well as on its work force and communities
