Heading back in time for a nostalgic pint in Sunderland's housing estate pubs - how many of these 15 scenes do you remember?

We are heading on to the housing estates for a retro look at Wearside pubs.

And we are asking – how many of these scenes do you remember?

We have 15 photographs from times gone by of pubs in the area – some long gone.

It’s all thanks to Ron Lawson, the former JP who is also part of the Sunderland Antiquarian Society and who has shared a part of his huge photo selection.

Ron gets our thanks once more for another great feature from his own archive of 11,500 photos.

To find out more about the history of Sunderland, the society’s base in Douro Terrace is open between 9.30am and noon on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

If you’ve got pub memories please contact Chris Cordner on [email protected].
