To mark the start of the Olympics, we are looking back in time to archive photos from Fellgate Primary School and Boldon School.
We’ve got sporting heroes who visited Lord Blyton School and South Tyneside College.
We are racing back in time with 9 great sporting scenes from the Shields Gazette archives. Take a look and then get in touch with your own memories.
