Watch: A journey back in time to Sunderland's Deptford area in the 1950s and 1960s

Laings, Simpson Street School, and the allotments - we have it all in a wonderful reminder of life in Deptford.

We turned the clock back to the 1950s and 1960s with the help of Bill Hawkins and Sunderland Antiquarian Society.

Enjoy these amazing views of St Andrews Church, The Caledonian pub, Trimdon Street West, Mount Pleasant, and much more.
