We have featured pictures of Middleton Camp in the 1980s in a recent nostalgia article.

Take a look at these wonderful images of Sunderland children having fun at Middleton Camp even further back in time.

Every one of these pictures comes from the 1940s and we hope you can spot someone you know.

Take a look and then get in touch with your own Middleton memories.
