In the late 1980s South Tyneside council had an idea for branding certain areas with a view to attracting tourists. Underfunded and underrealised, the whole fiasco consisted of some dull signs erected on wasteland and grass verges. Moreover the whole debacle was overseen by its subject as she was still alive at the time.
