Mackies Corner was built in 1845 on the site of a house owned by Dr William Clanny, inventor of the miner's safety lamp.
Since then, it has undergone huge changes and the Sunderland Echo has been there to capture many of them on camera.
Have a look and re-live them with us.

4. The Mackies Corner run
Every New Year’s Eve, runners ran the full length of Fawcett Street, starting from Mackie’s Corner and ending at the Gas Office corner, before the Town Hall Clock completed its 12 chimes. The record was never broken but we do know that the tradition finally ended 50 years ago when the Town Hall Clock was removed. | se Photo: se
