Ponies, pond dipping and perfect bike skills - nine pictures remembering happy times in West Boldon
Who loves a spot of pond dipping? How about a day of bushcraft?
We have them both and plenty more besides in a look back at Gazette archive photos from West Boldon.
Every one of these images were taken in West Boldon over the years and our selection also includes schoolchildren learning about bike safety in 2015, a charity night at the Wheatsheaf in 2005 and a foal paying a visit to the Horseshoe Day Nursery in 2006.
How many scenes will bring back memories for you? The only way to find out is by joining us on a journey back in time.
