We have a fantastic collection of colour photos from 1967 to share with you and it shows everything from the Argo Frigate to the British Empire.
The Bay Hotel and the Black Swan are pictured too.
All these photos come to us courtesy of the Sunderland Antiquarian Society and historian Ron Lawson. We thank them for a superb step back in time.
Some of these locals are consigned to the history books while others are still going strong. Let’s raise a toast to them all.
