And another landmark could be about to do the same after a demolition date was set for the Victorian era gasometer in South Shields, as reported in the Gazette.

Northern Gas Networks is set to start demolition work later this spring.

From Temple Park pool to Hebburn Civic Centre, we have 10 reminders. Take a look.
