Where has the year gone? We can’t believe that we are well into September and one South Shields pub is already planning for a great Halloween event.
Frightfully good family fun is planned at the New Sundial on Sea Road.
It gives us a chance to look back at some other occasions when the popular venue made headlines.
Have a look at these photo memories which take us back to 2018 to 2024.
We have locals enjoying refreshments after lockdown was lifted and the new look for the pub after its 2018 refurbishment.
See if these photo memories bring back recollections for you. Or perhaps there is another South Tyneside pub you would like us to feature in our retro section.
