Town in Tyne and Wear, NE England, on the S
bank of the Tyne, 10 km/6 mi E of Newcastle
and connected with the N bank by the Tyne
Tunnel (1967); population (1981) 27,075. The
closure of Palmer's shipyard in Jarrow in
1933 prompted the unemployed to march to
London, a landmark event of the Depression.
