We might have the answers in this look back at life on South Tyneside in 1955.
We gathered up a selection of Shields Gazette archive photos and they include darts at Frenchman’s Fort, new flats on Jarrow High Street and action from a South Shields match.
Enjoy the journey and then tell us which decade you want to see in our nostalgia section next.
