The town has certainly changed since these photos were taken in the early 1970s.
We have got John Street, Bridge Street, Blandford Street, Holmeside and Fawcett Street.
There are photos of Pallion Road, Bedford Street and Crowtree Road and they all come to us courtesy of Bill Hawkins from Sunderland Antiquarian Society.
Take a look and see if there is a scene which brings back memories for you.
