How do you fancy another journey through the years - this time to Baring Street.

The South Shields road has a rich past and we found 13 reminders of it in the Shields Gazette archives.

We have memories from 1965 to 2018, taking in schools scenes in 2013, a business day in 2011 and dancing in 2006.

Enjoy the trip and then share your own memories by emailing [email protected]
