Whether it was browsing Parrish's department store, a trip to The Apollo cinema or buying fruit and veg from the local greengrocer - generations of Geordies have happy memories of Shields Road through the years.
And that was reflected in a recent ChronicleLive article, which prompted many to share their memories of the once thriving high street. Many locals remember how you could once by anything you wanted on the Byker street, from fresh food, to clothing, accessories and homewear.
Some might have even recall buying items on credit from Beavans Department Store.
