Nine pictures of shops and pubs in South Tyneside in the 1980s as we take a trip down memory lane
Let’s take a trip down memory lane and look at the old shops and pubs in South Tyneside.
Where would you have gone for a pint in South Tyneside in the 1980s? Or how about a favourite shop to buy new clothes?
Was it one of these shops and pubs which we found in the Shields Gazette archives, all dating back to 1984?
We have a reminder of a newsagents on the corner of Russell Street and Smithy Street, a famous clothes shop in the King Street area and a hobby shop in Frederick Street..
You might recognise the fashions favourite in another photo or the pub on Whiteleas Way.
Join us on a trip back in time and once you have finished browsing these photos, get in touch and share your own memories.
