But what was life like in Sunderland in 1935? We found a selection of images from that year in the Sunderland Echo archives and here they are for you to enjoy.
There’s a reminder of Sunderland’s concrete boat, and a rare view of a suet van heading through Sunderland under ox-power.
Corn threshing, Houghton Feast and Election Day also make the news.
So why not take a look and experience life in Sunderland 85 years ago in pictures.
