11 photos to remind you of life on Wearside in 1982 - from the pit baths to the Jolly Girls

Isn’t it amazing how much life has changed in Sunderland since these photos were taken.

It was only in 1982 when the Echo was reporting on new baths at Monkwearmouth pit, a much-deserved honour for the team behind the Binns window displays and a facelift at Roker Park.

We have all this and plenty more thanks to a selection of archive images from 39 years ago.

The Jolly Girls, a Royal Navy ship's visit and the Echo’s cook of the year also made the news.

Why not take a look for yourself and re-live the memories.
