9 retro South Tyneside pub scenes as we reminisce on the locals we love

As lockdown starts to lift, people can start returning to the pubs they loved – albeit in limited form for now.

And while we can only enjoy the outdoor areas at pubs for now, we can look forward to a time when life in our locals will get back to normal.

In the meantime, lets enjoy some memories of the great times we had in hostelries in the past across South Tyneside.

From band nights to sporting occasions, we have it all. See if you can spot someone you know.
