South Shields pub memories: The South Tyneside bars, clubs and pubs thirsty punters visited for their first-ever pints

In honour of International Beer Day earlier this month, we invited the Shields Gazette readers to tell us which South Tyneside pub they visited for their first pint – and, if they could remember, what they ordered at the bar.

And the question unearthed some classic pictures from our archives as punters raised a virtual glass to their favourite watering holes.

See if you can spot one of your regular haunts in our picture round-up and don’t forget to add your own to the post on our Facebook page here.
