Can you believe all this happened on South Tyneside in 1980 - take a look at these 17 scenes
But that’s exactly when this selection of 17 pictures were first taken on South Tyneside, showing school scenes, stage societies and charity events.
We had a sponsored fire engine pull and fun at the seaside.
So why not take a look and re-live a bygone era.
And we would love to hear from you with your own memories of South Tyneside from four decades ago.
