Cool! The ten lollies you adored when you were growing up in Sunderland

Don't you just love a lolly? But which was your childhood favourite?

The mouthwatering choice could really have you drooling, unless you knew where to turn to for an answer – and we did!

We asked our Wearside Echoes followers for the delicious ice lolly/ice cream treat which they loved the most from their childhood.

We got so many responses that we have listed the top ten.

A day on the beach was always a good reason for investing in your favourite iced lolly.

1 – Cider lollies, also known as cider quenchers, got the vote of loads of people including Sonny Duggan, Andrew Gregory, Susan Hayton, Joanne McQuillin, Keith Leonard and Ann Campbell. Does it get yours?

2 – In second spot was the good old strawberry mivvi. June Mather loved it and so did Elizabeth Mills and Pauline Johnson.

Thanks also to Keith Middleton who said: “Has to be the good old strawberry split. Yum Yum.”

Denise Starkey said she ‘loved them but they were only for special occasions.’

Sun, sand and your favourite iced lolly. What more could you want from a day at the seaside.
