Where has the time gone? We are already into April and that gives us a chance to share Gazette archive photos from the month in years gone by.

We chose scenes including South Shields FC in action at Simonside , a new pulpit for a church in 1972 and an artist painting his portrait of a miner in 1976.

It’s a chance for you to reminisce on Spring photos and we have 9 of them for you to enjoy.

Take a look and then get in touch to tell us more.
