Eight tasty scenes from South Tyneside's past as chocolate detox month approaches
Next month is Dechox 2022 when people are being asked to put cocoa and chocolate on hold to both enjoy the health benefits and raise money for charity.

So why not take a look at some great chocolate scenes from South Tyneside’s past as we indulge for the last few days of February.
