South Tyneside has changed so much over the years.
But there are always Shields Gazette photographs to give you a reminder of life in the area in times gone by.
Here is a reminder of South Tyneside in 1975, showing everything from a restaurant scene to a petrol station and shopping scenes to athletes setting off on a run.
It’s all here in our retro feature.
