Here are 9 reminders of Sunderland in decades gone by including some roads that you will know.
All of the photos were shared with us by historian Bill Hawkins and we thank him for another great collection of images.
Bill is a member of the Sunderland Antiquarian Society. To find out more about the history of Sunderland, visit the society’s Facebook page or its website at http://www.sunderland-antiquarians.org
