I travelled back to 1980s South Tyneside and found all of this going on in the Shields Gazette archives.
You were tucking into lunch at South Shields Comprehensive, trying out the steam engine at South Marine Park and watching the last days of a structure at Geordie’s Jetty.
Throw in a serving of sea front fish and chips and it’s a tasty treat of memories.
