This photo was taken from the Market Place looking into a busy King St about 80 years ago. What has happened to that popular shopping street since?
It has been in the News recently that the well known 'South Shields Marine Tech' (founded 1861) and situated adjacent to Westoe Village & Sunderland Rd will be demolished and moved to the Town Centre ie King St.
The so called 'old Technical College' is 'no longer fit for purpose' so will be demolished to make way for new housing close to the expensive properties of Westoe Village.
