Broom making in Jarrow, pier to pier running from South Shields and a big hair day in Westoe – we have it all in a reminder of South Tyneside life in 2003.

Can you believe it was 19 years since these photos were taken.

It is time to re-live the memories with a look back at scenes which also include a bean bath on Red Nose Day and the Cookson Festival parade.

There are faces galore to recognise so why not join us as we step back in time.

Who do you recognise in this team line-up from Cleadon FC 19 years ago?
