Who knew! South Tyneside just loves the Dr and here is the time travelling proof in these retro Gazette photos

Cybermen, Daleks and a Doctor or two – we have them all and more in a South Tyneside tribute to the science fiction phenomenon.

There’s talk that a new doctor could be on the way for a forthcoming season of Dr Who.

But South Tyneside can already boast plenty of connections to the Dr and his companions, and a handful of his enemies.

There are fans galore across the area and all of these photos come from the Shields Gazette archives.

Take a look and see if they bring back wonderful memories.
