Take a look at these wonderful memories as people in South Tyneside enjoy the summers of the early 1960s.
People spent their time in bars, on the beach, taking a look at the shops and watching the latest films.
We hope you enjoy these photo reminders from the Shields Gazette archives of life in the 1960s.

With the windbreaker at their backs, the box of Tudor crisps, sandwiches and a cuppa, this family is all set for a great day out by the sea in 1964. | Shields Gazette Photo: Shields Gazette
7. What could be better than watching the bird population at Marsden Rock, just like this couple in August 1963.
