ON our Nostalgia pages today we once again visit Redcar, and this time its beach, after John Morris, a member of the Northern Echo Camera Club, sent us some great pictures of a lockdown mural in the town, and a family enjoying some social distancing on the beach, and some sun, sea and sand, despite the fumes from a transformer fire at the closed steelworks site.
If you have any photographs that have stirred up some memories, then send them to us. It could be a place you have visited, an event or family party. Perhaps your Scout or youth group enjoyed day trips that you would like to share with readers.
Send your pictures to jo.kelly@ newsquest.co.uk and we will publish them in print and online.
