15 views of The Nook as it looked in Google Maps photos from 2008 to today

One South Tyneside shopping area is known to millions of people and now it gets our attention in a retro tribute.

The Nook takes the TV spotlight each year when the Great North Run goes past it.

But we wanted to look at views of the little shopping community as captured on Google Maps. We found 15 of them 2008 to 2022.
