Can you guess this famous year in South Tyneside history from these photo and newspaper cutting clues?

We have another ‘guess the year’ challenge for you and we reckon this one will be an absolute giveaway with our very last clue.

This just-for-fun challenge uses photos, adverts and newspaper cuttings from the Shields Gazette to give you a hint of the year in question.

But which year is it and can you guess the answer before that final clue?

Take a look and see how you do.

Want another challenge? Here is another offering for you to have a go at.
