Non-essential retailers and gyms were already closed due to the North East’s Tier 4 restrictions, and now schools have joined them.
With people told to work from home unless they cannot, South Shields was deserted this morning with both main streets and the coastline very quiet.
Our photographers captured these images from the town as lockdown measures returned.
