Did you enjoy the snow, get wrapped up to go shopping, or plan nights out with live entertainment?
We have all this and more from January in South Tyneside in years gone by.
Maybe you would warm up those freezing cold days with an espresso in South Shields, or a tipple at a favourite bar.
All these photos were taken in the first month of years past. How many do you remember?

6. How about a night out?
Did you get through the winters nights with a spot of live entertainment, perhaps at Jarrow Ex-Servicemen's club pictured here in January 1964. Photo: Shields Gazette
7. A bracing game of football
Lot of you would brace the January weather to enjoy a game of football. Back to January 1972 for this view of the South Tyne Senior League side YMCA.

Maybe you got through winter by taking up a new hobby. Here is a 1986 guitar class. Can you spot someone you know? Photo: Shields Gazette
