It is National Curry Week and we found all these curry-related retro photos in the Shields Gazette archives.
There’s The Fad’s curry competition in 2013 and the hottest curry in the North East in Frederick Street in 2010.
How about the MP involved in a curry making day or the curry competition at South Tyneside College.
Or who remembers the South Tyneside curry order which was destined for the Congo?
We have all this and more. Take a look.

The hottest curry in the North East was at Sumayas in Frederick Street 11 years ago. Does this bring back memories? Photo: iain brown
