It might feel like a lifetime ago now but life was bustling between January and March 2025 in South Tyneside.
From the North East being battered by stormy weather to small signs of spring by the end of February, life moved fast in the borough at the start of the year.
Our photographer Stu Norton was on hand to capture the comings and goings throughout the first three months of the year.
Take a look at these 25 great photos in our gallery below.
