Here’s to the landlords who have given us a smile, warm words and our favourite tipple over the years.

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.

The refurbished Hylton was pictured in 2007 with landlord Lee Quinn and project manager Derek Wilson also photographed. Photo: TC
