10 hearty retro scenes which show Sunderland and County Durham people in touch with their pirate side!

We are flagging up these archive pirate scenes in the hope they bring back great memories.

Arrgh you pictured in these photos which all have a Wearside or County Durham link?

It’s International Talk Like A Pirate Day on Sunday so we dipped into the treasures of the Sunderland Echo archives to find these retro pictures. They all show people dressed like pirates but can you spot anyone you know?

From the pirate day at Seaburn Primary to pirate stories at Roker, we have photos galore for you to enjoy.

So let’s sail through this archive collection and savour some scenes from times gone by.
