In our latest spotlight on South Tyneside schools, we are heading down to the Woodbine Estate for this series of retro photos.

Do you recognise the young entrepreneurs who got to meet the Mayor and Mayoress?

How about the children enjoying a World Cup party or the youngsters in Mrs Heron’s reception class?

We have all this and more so why not take a look and then get in touch to share your own memories.
