We scoured the Sunderland Echo archives to find these 9 reminders of life in the area 28 years ago.
There’s the visit of Ken Morley, also known as Reg Holdsworth who had a game of bingo with locals, and there’s Pzazz, the new nightclub which opened in the venue which used to be Bentleys.
We have award-winning runners, and the opening of a new school. Take a look.
