So let’s raise a toast to Ron Lawson whose excellent archive of more than 11,500 photographs of pubs makes this feature possible.

Historian Ron is a former JP and also a member of the Sunderland Antiquarian Society which is a superb source of information on all aspects of Wearside history.

If you want to find out more, the Antiquarian Society’s base in Douro Terrace is open between 9.30am and noon on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
