Our Shields Gazette reporting teams went out and about in 2004, 2007 and 2008 to ask people about everything from sandwiches to organic produce.
All these people spoke up and we thank them for taking part in surveys in the past. Each of them gave their opinions on the important topics of the day, as these photo memories show.
Re-live 11 great scenes from South Tyneside’s past. Hopefully these scenes will give you something to digest.
We are catering for your memories and we hope you will get in touch if you spotted someone you know by emailing [email protected]
