Have a look at this unique view of Sunderland which was grabbed by an Echo photographer.

Back in 2006, the Echo 24 building was taking shape and we got a very special vantage point.

In a series of photos, we got on-high views of the Wearmouth Bridge, Stadium of Light, River Wear, town industry, churches and housing.

Re-live it all 17 years on.
