This just-for-fun challenge uses photos, adverts and newspaper cuttings from the Shields Gazette to give you a hint of the year in question.
But which year is it and can you guess the answer before that final clue?
Take a look and see how you do.
Want another challenge? Here is another offering for you to have a go at.
