We are talking about 1983 and we have 9 reminders from the Sunderland Echo archives of events from that year.
Did you take an antique along to be valued when TV experts came to Crowtree Leisure Centre. Did you get to meet the radio star who opened a new department at Binns store?
Or maybe you were one of the keen ten pin bowlers who took part in a 24-hour marathon?
We have all this and more so step back in time and enjoy the memories.
