It’s a real reminder of the locals of Wearside in 1967 and we hope these photos of pubs including the Wheatsheaf, Wellington Tavern, Thorney Close, and the Round Robin bring back happy memories.
All these images come to us courtesy of the Sunderland Antiquarian Society and we thank them for a wonderful look into Wearside’s past.
Let’s toast some of Sunderland’s hostelries as they look in the 60s.
