We're looking at Sunderland neighbourhoods in our latest retro features - and we are starting with Hendon

Sunderland has some wonderful neighbourhoods with lots of history behind them.

We are taking a look at them in our nostalgia pages, starting with this selection of images from the Hendon area.

We delved into the Sunderland Echo archives to find photographs from the 1940s onwards including wartime scenes, the docks and the beach.

Take a look and see if they bring back memories.
