The conference will take place at Park Hotel, Tynemouth. Harriet Martineau lived in Tynemouth for nearly five years between 1840 and 1845 where she wrote a number of books and articles including The Hour and the Man and Life in the Sick-Room describing her life in Tynemouth. About a hundred pages of her autobiography are devoted to the Tynemouth period. She lived at 57 Front Street, now The Martineau Guest House.
Tynemouth is a town and historic resort in Tyne and Wear, England, situated at the mouth of the River Tyne, between North Shields (on the Tyne) and Whitley Bay (on the coast to the North). In the late 18th century, sea-bathing became fashionable in Tynemouth. King Edward's Bay and Tynemouth Longsands remain popular with locals and tourists alike.
