More than 80 years on from the Jarrow March - people in the South Tyneside town are once again fighting to eliminate poverty.
In 1936, 200 unemployed men marched from Jarrow to London carrying a petition signed by 12,000 residents. The petition, which was received by the House of Commons, called for support following the closure of the local Shipyard.
Although there was no immediate support received, the publicity accompanying and following the march, known as the Jarrow Crusade, helped to generate some renewal for the town.
