With the UK’s Prime Ministerial position in the spotlight, we delved into the Sunderland Echo archives to find photos of PM’s paying a visit to the Sunderland area, either during their term of office or before they came to power.
Did you get to see David Cameron at Nissan or Edward Heath in Belmont. How about Harold Macmillan in Sunderland or James Callaghan when he visited Durham.
If you did, here is a reminder of those special days.
