All of these pubs once served the people of Sunderland and the surrounding communities.
But we can remember them thanks to these photos which were shared with the Sunderland Echo by Ron Lawson, the former JP who is also part of the Sunderland Antiquarian Society.
He has shared a part of his huge photo collection of 11,500 pictures. Take a look at Ron’s great reminders of times gone by.
To find out more about the society, visit its Facebook page or its website at http://www.sunderland-antiquarians.org

4. The Ford Hotel
The Ford Hotel in Hylton Road met its demise in the early 1980s. Brewery bosses decided at the time that it would be too costly to repair damage at the Ford and show a profit. Photo: Ron Lawson
