Nine tasty South Tyneside barbecue and picnic scenes from the past to get your taste buds going
Get the dates in your diary! There are two special events on the way for lovers of the great outdoors.
National Barbecue Week starts on Monday and if that’s not enough to tempt you outside, it’s International Picnic Day on Saturday, June 18.
To celebrate, we found these nine great picnic and barbecue scenes in the Shields Gazette archives.
So stick a burger on the barbie and enjoy these photos which include a barbecue at Flagg Court in 2009 and a fundraising barbie for St Clare’s Hospice in 2003.
