A family goat, a well with a never-ending water supply and a school’s last day. Have a guess at the common denominator.

The answer is they’re all a part of Coxgreen and its past and they were all photographed by the Sunderland Echo.

Here is our tribute to the little village in 9 retro photos spanning from 1937 to 1994.

Have a look at the Alice Well, the McKinnons and their family goat and the Coxgreen Council School.

We have it all and more.
