A gallery of great pictures of Greggs staff in Sunderland as the bakery chain makes more Wearside headlines

New drive thru got us thinking about Greggs in Sunderland over the years

Have a look at this taste of Sunderland's past. It shows staff from Greggs stores across the city from 2004 onwards.

We've got Echo archive scenes from Fulwell, Pallion and more. So get ready for ghostly goings on, a winning biscuit or two and a chilly dip.

And what better time is there to put the spotlight on the chain as it returns to the Sunderland Echo headlines.

Greggs has opened its new drive thru in Pennywell, creating 20 new jobs for the area, with a drive thru as well as seating indoors.
