Was it queuing for yummy fish and chips on the sea front or being a member of Polly’s Follies and raising money for charity?
Perhaps it was buying a toffee apple on the south foreshore or performing on stage in Annie Get Your Gun.
Maybe you were a member of the Vintage Jazzmen or a Hedworth Lane Junior School pupil who supported a worthy cause.
If any of these ring a bell, you might well be in one of our Shields Gazette archive photos. Take a look.
