Nine South Tyneside shops, gyms and schools pictured on the day they opened
We’ve got reminders of the days when everything from Poundland to a new play area at Perth Green Community Association first opened.
We’ve got Westoe Crown Primary School and a new dance studio in Laygate to look back on.
So join us for a flashback to the day when you first set eyes on all of these places.
