Remember when David Soul was top of the charts with Don’t Give Up On Us?
Or how about that TV hit Happy Days? The common denominator is they were tops in 1977 and we have 10 photos from South Tyneside in the same year.
An athletics meeting at Gypsies Green, a Cleadon drama group stage show, and shops in King Street all get our attention.
So does the St Gregory’s Junior School football team and a Boys Brigade company in Harton.
But don’t just take our word for it. Take a look for yourselves and then get in touch with your memories.
