9 pictures of Pallion over the years as we put the spotlight on another Wearside neighbourhood

From singers to street dancers and ship launches – we have it all in a feature on Pallion pictures in years gone by.

The community gets the spotlight in the latest of our occasional pieces on nostalgia in your neighbourhood.

An over-60s group, Pallion Sunday market and a Royal visit are also included.

So join us as we travel back in time for some Pallion reminders.
