Nine retro photos of South Tyneside Guides & Brownies through the decades
We’re focusing on the Guides and Brownies for today’s retro.
Spear throwing, a beatnik party and laying carpets – you did it all with the Guides and Brownies.
But the question is, were you pictured as you did all of these things in South Tyneside in times gone by?
We have nine photos of Guides and Brownies getting up to all sorts of fun in decades gone by.
So be prepared to enjoy some great memories, and if you do, why not tell us more by getting in touch.
