11 pictures from Roker Avenue, charting 90 years of the Sunderland street

Driving down Roker Avenue - in decades gone by

We're back with another of our nostalgic trips down a Sunderland street.

This time, it's Roker Avenue in the spotlight and our Echo archive tribute starts in 1934 with a visit by the Prince of Wales.

We've got a famous landmark which was about to face demolition in 1970 and gospel singers in fine voice in 2006.

Go retro in Roker Avenue.
