The swinging 60s - but what was Sunderland like in the summer months 60 years ago.
We had a look in the Echo archives for a reminder of daily life in 1963.
We found scenes from Mowbray Park, the town centre shops including Woolworths and Radio Rentals, the ferry and Backhouse Park.
So as you ponder on what to do with your summer days, see how Wearsiders did it all 60 years ago.
