Yellow Knotted Net

Cultural Representation

Art and Literature:

In British maritime art, yellow often appears in depictions of fishing villages, representing the light and life of these communities

The warm glow of yellow in paintings of harbours, boats, and fishermen's clothing can sometimes symbolise resilience and vitality. 

Coastal Heritage:

Fishing towns like North Shields and Whitby often incorporate yellow tones in their branding and visual identity, symbolizing the light of lighthouses, sunrise over the sea, and the rich history of maritime trade. Given the historical importance of North Shields and its shielings (fishermen's huts), yellow could represent:

The hope and optimism that drove early fishing communities. A beacon of safety, reflecting the Quay’s importance as a refuge for fishermen navigating the River Tyne. The abundance of the sea, celebrating the vital role of fishing in the town’s identity.
