We’ve had a rifle through our archives to bring you some favourites over the years.
13. Luma, Park Lane
Park Lane has seen a number of bars come and go. Luma on Derwent Street was always one of the more popular ones, particularly for parties. Photo: JPI Media
14. Ask, High Street West
One of the first restaurants to open as part of the then new Limelight complex around the cinema, Ask was short-lived in Sunderland. It was empty for a number of years before other restaurants gave it a try. More recently, it was eat all-you-can-eat pizza place Infinity Pizza but is currently empty. Photo: JPI Media
15. Harvey's, city centre
Harvey's one of the town's most popular restaurants with a late licence, to stay open until 4 am. It's pictured here in 1983. Photo: Sunderland Echo
16. Papadoms, High Street West
Another restaurant to make a go of it in the former Ask unit, much was spent on the Papadoms restaurant which specialised in Indian street food. Photo: JPI Media
