A flurry of retro winter scenes after South Tyneside welcomes its first snow of 2022

We have gathered 10 archive images of the borough facing a wintry day and here they are – from blizzards on King Street in 2009 to sledging on the Cleadon Hills in the same year.

There’s a possibility of more snow on the way so let’s remind ourselves of some good old fashioned downpours from the past.

Take a look and see if you can spot someone you know.
