“The Spirit of Shields” – Mark One87’s Mural | Elevation Festival | I Love North Shields

Local artist Mark One87 captures North Shields’ fishing heritage in his striking mural “The Spirit of Shields”, painted on the North Shields Football Club building for the Elevation Mural Festival, part of the town’s 800th anniversary celebrations. The mural depicts a modern-day fishing boat battling the North Sea, with the historic Fish Quay in the background — a tribute to both the working-class resilience of the past and the living traditions of today. Mark’s bold graffiti style and use of colour fuse heritage and community pride in a piece that feels timeless yet modern. With more than 20 years of experience as a graffiti artist, muralist, and community arts practitioner, Mark One87 has delivered large-scale works across the North East, supported youth projects such as the Phoenix Detached Youth Project, and founded Newcastle’s Elements Street Art Festival. This mural was curated by Elevation and documented and promoted in collaboration with I Love North Shields and SIRA Studio. 📖 Read more about the story behind the mural: 👉 https://ilovenorthshields.com/elevati... 🔹 Credits Artist: Mark One87 (@mark_one87) Curated by: Elevation (@elevation_walls) Documented by: SIRA Studio (@siraphotovideo) Promoted by: I Love North Shields (@ilovenorthshields) Location: North Shields Football Club, Trevor Terrace, North Shields
