Walking in a winter wonderland! 9 archive photos of the annual festive parade in South Tyneside
We’re walking in a winter wonderland as we cast our minds back to a colourful seasonal parade which brought the crowds out.
The Christmas wonderland event certainly produced some great scenes over the years and we have reminders from 2014, 2015 and 2018.
There are drummers, fantastic costumes, crowds galore and much more in these nine Shields Gazette archive images.
Take a look, enjoy the memories and then get in touch to share your own.
