A gallery of magical memories of the 2010 Mouth of the Tyne Festival in South Shields

A scorching hot day in 2010 when these great scenes were recorded

Looks like it was a scorching hot day in 2010 when these great scenes were recorded in South Marine Park.

They show the Mouth of the Tyne Festival which featured all sorts of live entertainment from ventriloquists to comedy acts.

It’s a timely occasion to share these memories as the popular South Tyneside leisure spot is back in the news thanks to plans to put it under the spotlight this Summer.

It will look at both parks and discover how they have developed into the places that we know today.

The Shields Gazette photo memories show lots of people coming along to watch the feast of fun at the Mouth of the Tyne festival and we wonder if you were in the picture.
