We delved into the Shields Gazette archives to find these 9 retro scenes and they also show Art Week, a history event and children being kind through cards.
See if you can spot someone you know in this selection of images which shows photos from 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2013.
Take a look and then get in touch with your own memories.
