Inside South Tyneside's bars - 9 retro photos of your local but how many do you remember?

But let’s not forget the vital part they play in the area’s economy and social life.

And while we wait for them to re-open after the pandemic, let’s pay tribute to the bars we have enjoyed over the years.

Some are still with us while others are confined to the past but they have all played their part in our lives and we want to salute them.

So take a look and see how many of these archive photos you recognise.
