11 photos you will only remember if you lived on Wearside in 1983

Let’s Dance, Total Eclipse of the Heart and Red Red Wine were riding high in the charts while The Bill, Blackadder, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet and Blockbusters were all starting their run on TV.
Back on Wearside, all these scenes were happening including celebrity visits to the area and fun days in the sun.
So join us as we reminisce on a great year for memories.
