Stan Laurel Home Site - North Shields

Stan Laurel's home site is on Dockwray Square in North Shields, Englan.  The film comedian moved here with his family in 1895 when he was 5 years old.  He father had gotten a job as theater manager for the Theatre Royal on Prudhoe Street.  He lived here as a young boy in this home for several years before setting off for Glasgow.  The house no longer stands, replaced by a newer group of  homes, but a blue plaque on the front of the building indicates the location.  There is also a statue of Laurel in the nearby park.
