The Dolly Peel in Commercial Road featured in a Shields Gazette story which told how it was set to reopen with live music, 80s and 90s DJ/disco, quizzes, live sports and much more.
That gives us a chance to delve into the pub’s past for memories from 2004 to 2014.
There are loads of photos of staff as well as plenty of reminders of the fundraising events they held, thanks to the Shields Gazette archives.
