You could get just about anything you wanted in Park Lane Market in its Sunderland heyday.
But we wonder how many of these shops and stalls you can still name from the popular little shopping hub’s past.
Back in its heyday, bargain hunters used to love a look round the likes of Thoburns, Herrons, Blue Moon Discount and Pips Ladies Fashions.
Perhaps B&S Cooney or Anne Prinelle was more your thing, or maybe Habycraft or Zig Zags.
We have loads of names that you might recognise if you loved to shop in Park Lane in the late 1980s.
Have a browse to see how many you remember and then get in touch with your own thoughts on Sunderland’s best little shops of the past, by emailing [email protected]

2. Pictured in Park Lane
You could get your favourite toffees and fudges from 20p at The Toffee Shop in 1988.
3. Thoburn for fruit and veg
There were specials on every day and you could pick your own products at J.Thoburn. | JPIMedia Resell
4. Crab sticks at Herrons
Crab sticks were £1 for 15 at Herrons in 1988 - unless you were Joan Smith who earned herself a lifetime's supply after she found a gold marker in her weekly shop. | se
