And while we are in the middle of a heatwave, let’s take a look at some people who enjoyed afternoon tea, strawberry teas and tea dances in South Tyneside.
All these photos were found in the Shields Gazette archives and cover events in Fellgate, Harton, Hebburn and Jarrow.
But are you pictured? There’s only one way to find out. Take a look and share the memories.
1. Tea and scones in 2015
The NCS project saw youngsters sell tea and cakes to raise money for equipment, to be used to restore the gardens at Harton Grange. Remember this from five years ago? Photo: Stu Norton
