But we want to know what your memories are of these 11 retro scenes and whether you were pictured in them.
Were you a Hedworthfield Comprehensive School student off on your exchange trip to Wuppertal and Remscheid in Germany?
Were you one of the St Oswalds Allsorts dancers, or pictured on stage at the South Shields Amateur Operatic Society's production of The King and I?
We have got all this and more in a great line-up of nostalgic scenes to take a look and tell us more.
