Nine nostalgic pictures from Sunderland's Blind Lane as we chart 70 years in the life of the street

Cute pets, a pub crawl and road safety

Bring on the Blind Lane memories. We want your memories of the Silksworth street over the years.

But first, have had a good look at our Echo archive views of the street which span from 1959 to 2015.

They show a pet shop on its opening day, road safety outside New Silksworth Infants and a fabulous pub crawl from Donkin's.
