We welcomed Inspector Morse to the television screens but what was happening closer to home in 1987?
All of this was and we have 9 photos to remind you of life in South Tyneside 34 years ago.
We’ve got a fashion show at Palmers, a disco at St Joseph’s Comprehensive, a stage show in Jarrow and top cross country runners at St James Junior Mixed.
But why not take a look for yourself and then get in touch to share your own memories.
