Nine out-of-this-world pictures from South Tyneside as we celebrate Star Wars Day

Like it you will! We have 9 photos from the Shields Gazette archives and they all have a Star Wars theme.

And what better day to share them with you than May 4 which is Star Wars Day.

There are photos from a science fiction fair in South Shields in 2013 as well as a fair in Hebburn in 2012.

We have a reminder of Star Wars characters in Hebburn in 2013 and of Darth Vader at T & G Allen’s in 1983.

See how many of these photos bring back memories for you.
