Jonny Dryden, co-owner of Blacks Corner, who champion small-batch produce, has urged people to shop local after a number of business closures in East Boldon.

Blacks Corner started life in the South Tyneside village, going on to open a deli down the road, Blacks Corner in Seaburn, a branch at Fenwick and a future branch to open at the new Culture House in Sunderland city centre.
