The changing face of Wearside pubs has been photographed over the years.

We are going retro with a reminder of the refurbishments which took place at favourite venues in years gone by.

Who remembers these facelifts for Varsity, Aspire, the Grindon Mill and the Boar’s Head?

We have all this and more so take a look and enjoy the memories.
