Nine Norfolk Street scenes from the Sunderland Echo archives in a tribute spanning 84 years

It’s a street that can tell many stories.

And we have enough archive photos to span 84 years of the history of Norfolk Street in Sunderland.

Here is another in our spotlights on Wearside roads and this one takes us to the days of air raid wardens, a history-making dry bar and the sad demise of a famous shop.

Have a look and see how many of these scenes you remember.
