Our Sunderland Echo followers requested a retro feature on the street as we continue our focus on the Roads, Rows, Lanes, Squares and Avenues of Wearside.
Next up is Silksworth Row and we’ve got 11 archive photos to share including a close-up on women members of the Gunners Club in 1977, the cast of Dracula at the Isis in 2013, and charity dippers pictured at Total Sport a decade ago.
Let’s set off for a drive down retro Silksworth Row.

6. Total commitment to sports
Darren Grant and Keith Reiling from Total Sport were pictured in 2007. That's the year when Total Sport sponsored two football clubs - The Sportsmans Arms and the Dagmar Club - with new shirts. Mick Grant, left, Ken Drysdale and Nicky Pemberton, right were representing the clubs. Photo: PB
