Fifty years of memories from one Sunderland neighbourhood can’t be bad and that’s what we have got from Marley Pots.

I scoured the Sunderland Echo archives for a gallery of great images from yesteryear and found all these reminders from 1975 to 2021.

So if you like retro pubs, clubs, schools and allotment scenes, this is the place for you. Enjoy!
