9 Sunderland and County Durham memories from 1977 - the year we watched Happy Days

Remember when David Soul was top of the charts with Don’t Give Up On Us?

Or how about that TV hit Happy Days? The common denominator is they were tops in 1977 and we have 9 photos from Wearside and County Durham in the same year.

A mini earthquake in Silksworth, a safety first show at Witherwack Primary School and the Castle View Junior School sports day all get our attention.

So does a Hylton Castle Jubilee party and the Pallion playscheme.

But don’t just take our word for it. Take a look for yourselves and then get in touch with your memories.
