We have all of these scenes to remind you of the area 35 years ago and what a place it was.
After all, where else would you find Dave Stewart making a film, crazy golf at Roker and sequence dance at the Seaburn Centre.
Join us as we celebrate 1990 with these memories from the Sunderland Echo archives.
