South Tyneside in pictures: Gazette readers share their favourite photographs of 2021

The past 12 months have seen many of us discover new walking spots and appreciate the scenery of our local area.

So as 2021 draws to a close, we wanted to celebrate the beauty in and around South Tyneside – from the coastline to the countryside.

We asked the Shields Gazette readers to share their favourite photographs, taken by them throughout this year.

Here are some of your fantastic shots. You can add your own to our post on Facebook here. Thank you to everyone who sent in a picture.
