Seen in Stanhope Road: A gallery of retro images of the South Shields street

Snowy days, super shops and school line-ups. What more could you want in a gallery of retro South Tyneside photos.

We have it all in this spread of Shields Gazette archive images from 1972 to 2021.

They show all aspects of life and plenty of local faces.

Have a look and see how many people you recognise.
