We’ve put the spotlight on Wearside’s retail scene from 50 years ago before but this time we are going close up to bring you a detailed view of the shops you loved.
So whether you fancied a trip to the arcades or wanted a wander through the streets filled with retail options, we have got reminders of them all.
