Nine retro pictures of Sunderland pub landlords as we toast the hosts of The Dagmar, Fitzgeralds, The Board Inn and more
We have nine photos of Sunderland and County Durham pubs as well as the landlords, landladies, licensees and managers who made them so special.
So if you loved a trip to the Dagmar in 2006, or The Monument in Penshaw in 2009, this is the place for you.
Let’s get a retro round of photos in.
