We are blessed by our coastline here in South Tyneside and one of the most popular landmarks along it is the iconic Herd Groyne Lighthouse.
The Victorian lighthouse was built in 1882 before the North and South piers were constructed.
Having recently undergone a period of restoration work, which was carried out by the Port of Tyne, the impressive structure is back to looking its best on the South Shields seafront.
Local photographers look capturing moments of The Groyne and sharing them with us.
Take a look at our gallery of photos from Shields Gazette readers of the Herd Groyne.
