From the Bay to the Ford – Sunderland’s social scene is ever changing and here is a reminder of some of the venues we have loved and lost.

We compiled a selection of pubs and hotels which faced the bulldozers and it was quite a list of places which could bring back memories.

Did you like a visit to the Locarno or enjoyed a night out with friends at the Ford Hotel? We have these and more besides.

It got us thinking of the other venues we have loved. See how many you remember.
