Bentleys, Cup fever and the last days of a pit - who remembers these Wearside scenes from 1992?

Sunderland got to the FA Cup Final but we said goodbye to Vane Tempest pit which had provided employment for decades.

You went dancing at Chambers and Bentleys and shopping at Jacky White’s Market and we have recollections of it all.

Take a look and see how many of these scenes you remember.

Jacky White's Market in April 1992 and there was plenty of support for Sunderland and the team's FA Cup run.
