What a huge range of shops and businesses we have seen on Prince Edward Road in South Shields over the years.
But we wonder how many of these scenes you will remember of the shopping area.
They are all Shields Gazette photo memories from 2010 to 2013 and they take in everything from Campbells fruit and veg to Carr’s butchers and Pound Crazy to Gill’s fish and chip shop.
Take a look at The Nook and then share your own memories of the shops you loved in the area.
Or perhaps you would prefer to tell us about your favourite pub of the past, or club, nightclub or restaurant.
Whatever you would like to see featured in the Shields Gazette retro section, we want to hear from you.
