This week is British Pie Week, and we have plenty of Wearside memories to get your taste buds going.
We have meat pies, Maws pies, and sweet mince pies. Yes they are included – we checked.
So as the big launch day approaches, let’s work up an appetite for memories with these Sunderland Echo archive pictures.
