Liptons, Woolworths and Hintons. They are all names that shoppers will remember.

All these well known chains had branches in the South Tyneside area and we have got the photos to prove it.

Did you love to shop in Presto? We have a photo of staff from that store as well in a series of nine photos to take you back shopping in years gone by.

Take a look and see if our collection brings back memories.
