11 photos to bring back memories of life in Sunderland in 1975

Who remembers queueing for tickets to see Sunderland play Middlesbrough in a cup match?

Or how about the day when you tried a skating marathon at Southmoor School?

There’s the time when you had a go at welly flinging in Backhouse Park and that time when you broke production records at Wearmouth Colliery.

They all happened in 1975 and we have got the photos to remind you of it.

So take a look and re-live the memories. And why not get in touch afterwards to share your own 1976 memories.
