Nursery scenes, a bar opening, and a Mad Hatter’s tea party. What’s the link?

The answer is Beach Road in South Shields and all of these Gazette archive photos were taken in the street over the years.

We are putting the retro spotlight on another part of South Tyneside with a look at 9 pictures from Beach Road.

There are scenes from 2003, 2005, 2008, and 2016 so join us as we step back in time.
