We thought we would celebrate National Pie Week which runs all this week.
To mark the occasion, we found all of these South Tyneside memories and it includes famous names such as Dicksons, Binns, and Taybarns.
See how many you remember from these Shields Gazette archive memories and get in touch if there's a favourite among them. It’s certainly food for thought.
