We’ve kept it to 14 in honour of the date, but we’re sure you can think of plenty more.
13. Fantastic parks
It’s easy to take them for granted, but we’re lucky to have some great parks in South Tyneside to step away from the hustle and bustle. And a visit to South Marine park, with The Lakeshore Railroad, boating lake and an ice cream in Toney Minchella are a classic South Tyneside trip out. Photo: Jane Coltman
14. The people
Friendly, generous and full of craic, the people of South Tyneside are always ready to help out when others need it, and we have some amazing community projects and activities bringing people together. Photo: Tim Richardson
