A shout out to the Shipwrights as we pay tribute to a historic Sunderland pub between 1967 and 2015

Sunderland pub is packed with decades of Wearside history

It was once a coaching inn and this beauty of a Sunderland pub is packed with Wearside history.

The Shipwrights at North Hylton dates back to the 1800s and has a fantastic position on the riverside.

It has also regularly appeared in Sunderland Echo pictures and here is a gallery of photo memories from the Ferryboat Lane local.

See how many scenes you remember from this span which stretches from 1967 to 2015.

Or perhaps you would like to tell us about the type of nostalgia you would want to see in our retro section.

It might be memories of your favourite shop, club, nightclub or restaurant.

Maybe you want to get back in touch with former workmates from a Sunderland factory, or with pals who you went to school with.

Or perhaps you would like to share memories of a sporting occasion in the past which you would like to revisit.
