We were watching Charlie’s Angels, the Six Million Dollar Man and Are You Being Served on television. And we were dancing to chart hits such as Fernando, Save All Your Kisses For Me, and Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.
But there was plenty to reminisce on closer to home in 1976 as well and here’s the proof.
We dug into the Shields Gazette archives to find this collection of photos and we hope they bring back great memories.
Take a look and then get in touch with your own recollections.
