Down your street: 11 archive photos of Ferryboat Lane

From Government Ministers to goalkeeping heroes. Ferryboat Lane has welcomed them all.

It's one street with many faces and we've taken a look at them with this journey through the Sunderland Echo archives.

We've got the construction of the bypass in 1970, floods in 1996, and new art at the Shipwrights in 2019.

That's not all. See what else we've found in our retro spotlight.
