Every one of these Shields Gazette archive photos was taken 43 years ago and they show South Tyneside life from a bygone era.
Do you recognise the people pictured in the 30th South Shields Guides or the Boldon Catholic Women’s League members in fancy dress?
What about the children at Ashley Road School? We have all this and more so why not take a look and then get in touch with your own memories.
