It's back to school for today's South Tyneside retro

Published 6th Dec 2023, 09:06 BST

All 10 photos show children in reception classes across South Tyneside in years gone by.

There are scenes from Lord Blyton and Whitburn, Mortimer Primary and Boldon.

How about a retro reminder of classes at Ashley Primary and Fellgate too. We have all these and more so why not have a browse through these Shields Gazette archive scenes.
