It is time to look back at the picture houses you loved the most in Sunderland – as chosen by you.

We asked the 6,000 members ‘Which was the Sunderland cinema you loved most from the past?’

Here are a selection of their answers as well as plenty of archive Echo photos so that you can re-live the memories too.
