Let’s pay tribute to some of the people who have run South Tyneside’s pubs over the years.
Landlords and landladies manage hostelries all over the borough and do a marvellous job which includes so much more than just serving drinks.
So join us as we pay tribute to them and the excellent work they have done over the years in this retro collection.
