Join us for 30 years of superb memories from the Ship and Royal pub in South Shields

Photos from the 1980s to 2013

Regulars and staff are in the picture in this great selection of reminders from the Ship and Royal.

The pub in Ocean Road, South Shields, got the attention of Shields Gazette photographers from the 1980s to 2013.

Whether it was a charity ladies night, locals enjoying a relaxing refreshment by the window, or a head shave, we have it all in a gallery of photo memories.

Have a look and then get in touch with your own recollections, or perhaps there is another South Tyneside pub you would like us to feature in our retro section.

If so, tell us more about it by emailing [email protected]
