The answer is they are all archive scenes from Hendon and we are putting the spotlight on them in another of our retro features on Wearside neighbourhoods.
We have the Hendon and East End Carnival in 1997 and residents of D’Arcy Court enjoying a cuppa in their new meeting spot.
We have school dinners at Hudson Road Primary and children from Valley Road Primary School pictured after a visit to Derwent Hill.
Take a look and see if you can spot someone you know.

3. A new meeting place
Tenants of Hendon's revamped tower blocks raised their cuppas to a new meeting place. The residents' room, on the ground floor of D'Arcy Court, was to be the focus of events for tenants of not only its 108 flats, but also those in the nearby South Durham and Edworth Courts in 1997.
