From North Bridge Street to Stockton Road, illuminated Sunderland gets our attention thanks to a collection of photos which were shared with us by Bill Hawkins of Sunderland Antiquarian Society.
We also have Ewesley Road Methodist Church under floodlights in 1950, Maynards and other town centre shops in 1961, and a ship under construction in 1965.
There’s much more and you can take a look at our illuminating feature by reading on.

Can we help you to shed light on an aspect of Wearside history? If there is a part of Sunderland's past you would like to highlight, get in touch by emailing [email protected] Photo: Bill Hawkins
