We found 11 fantastically festive views of the South Shields shopping street in December from 1950 to 2020.
The Shields Gazette scenes show blizzards in 1950 right through to the most perfect seasonal scene in 2004 - and plenty more besides.
Get yourself in the shopping spirit and take a browse through our gallery.

13. Be merry and share
