14 reasons we love South Tyneside so much

We live in a pretty wonderful place here in South Tyneside, and with Valentine’s Day increasing our expressions of love we decided to look at some of the things that are special about our towns and villages.

We’ve kept it to 14 in honour of the date, but we’re sure you can think of plenty more.

8. Curry

Not quite a curry mile, but Ocean Road has become a destination for lovers of Indian cuisine - and there are plenty more good places for spicy asian fare dotted about the borough. | www.craiglengphotography.co.uk tel:07722784323 Photo: Craig Leng
