The day these Pennywell buildings were demolished - from the Dewhirst factory to The Eagle

Pennywell has seen many changes over the years and we have found some of them in the Sunderland Echo archives.

If you worked at Dewhirsts, enjoyed a pint in the Eagle with pals, lived in Pickhurst Road or Palmerston Road, or went to Pennywell School, this is the place to be.

Each of these photos shows a Pennywell demolition scene.
