Let’s go floral as we head towards a Bank Holiday weekend and with a hint of warmer weather on the way.
Here is a gallery of South Tyneside scenes which stretch from 1988 to 2015.
Some of the Shields Gazette photo memories come from Temple Park, Souter Lighthouse and Epinay School. Others come from the Station garden project, Horseshoe Day Nursery, and Bede’s World in Jarrow.
Have a look and see how many scenes you remember from this great collection of archive images.
