All these Sunderland pubs changed their names over the years. Remember these?

We’ve all heard of the Old 29 but how many of you know of the other name it once went by?

What about the other names of the Duck and Kangaroo or Bunnies. How about the Lord Roberts or the Brewery Tap?

We can share all this thanks to Ron Lawson, a former JP who is also part of the Sunderland Antiquarian Society and who has shared a part of his huge photo selection.

Ron gets our thanks once more for another great feature from his own archive of 11,500 photos.
