We have taken a closer look at Peter's collection ahead of an event in the summer. Peter's home is filled with hundreds of pieces of memorabilia.He has also got his hands on staff overalls, ashtrays, ties and photographs relating to the brewery's history.The collection includes pub signs, trays and beer mats.The collection is stored in his garage, back garden, conservatory and downstairs toilet.Peter has spent thousands putting his collection together.Peter will showcase his collection at an anniversary evening this summer.It will mark 20 years since the city centre brewery closed in July 1999.Around 700 jobs were lost when time was called on the brewery's time on Wearside.He is organising the event along with wife Angelika, daughter Janine and friiend Richard.The name Vaux itself quickly disappeared with the business becoming Swallow Inns and Restaurants before a takeover by Whitbread BreweriesVaux was a major employer in Sunderland for almost 200 years before it closed.
