The Sunderland Echo’s specialist nostalgia page – called Wearside Echoes – has reached the milestone of having 7,000 followers.
Those who have joined are already enjoying daily reminders of Sunderland’s past. It is also a page where people can share their own memories.
Today, as we appeal for even more people to get on board, we are sharing some of the posts which have attracted lots of interest.
They include the 1980 image at Thorney Close School, a Farringdon School photo from 1985, and Rolls Royce at Pallion in 1972.
Take a look, re-live the memories – and then come and join us!
