Nine pictures capturing the colour of life in Castletown over the years

We love a look back at Sunderland’s neighbourhoods in times gone by. Here’s another one.

It’s Castletown and we have Echo photos from 1959 to 2008 for you to peruse.

It covers everything from the local colliery to Castletown Workmen’s Club and the Mothers Union to pond dipping.

There’s faces galore. All we need now is for you to recognise them and then get in touch to tell us more.
