I took a trip back to Sunderland in 2005 and found these 21 fantastic photos of Wearside life

We can, thanks to the fantastic Sunderland Echo archives which are packed with photo memories.

We found 21 of them and they show everything from children celebrating Harry Potter Day at Sunderland Library huge crowds at the Radio 1 Big Weekend.

Enjoy it all once more.
