Let’s raise a toast to a South Shields pub in the news as we salute the New Crown Hotel.
It tempted us into looking in the Gazette’s archives for other views from the pub’s past - and we found loads!
Perhaps you were there when the pub held a Zumba fundraising event - or when an angling club held its trophy night there in 1973.
We’ve also got scenes from Storm Arwen’s effects in 2021 and plenty more besides, but why not find out for yourselves by taking a look through our photo memories.
