I found all of these views of the street in the Shields Gazette archives, stretching from Ainsley’s shop in 1964 to a look at the Dolly Peel statue in 2024.
In between, there are scenes from former pubs and businesses as well as a snow day from 1970.
Relive it in these views and then share your own memories by emailing [email protected]
