What about the other names of the Duck and Kangaroo or Bunnies. How about the Lord Roberts or the Brewery Tap?
We can share all this thanks to Ron Lawson, a former JP who is also part of the Sunderland Antiquarian Society and who has shared a part of his huge photo selection.
Ron gets our thanks once more for another great feature from his own archive of 11,500 photos.
