A former ground of Sunderland Football Club has certainly seen plenty of people pass through its doors since the club moved to pastures new.
Thousands have come through the doors of Thompson Park Community Centre, in Monkwearmouth, over the years and we are celebrating 70 years of the community hub which was built off Newbold Avenue back in 1956.
The site was the Black Cats’ sixth ground, which the team used from 1886-1898.
Since then, it has enjoyed all sorts of highlights and we have some of them in this gallery of Sunderland Echo photo memories.
See how many of these scenes you remember. They include pantomimes, goalkeeper training, fundraising in 2012 and a team from the centre taking part in the Boxing Day dip at Seaburn in the same year.
