Nine Sunderland coach trip memories from the past, setting off from Hylton Castle, Southwick and Wearmouth Colliery

9 retro coach trips from Sunderland: All aboard for Bamburgh, Gretna Green and Whitby

The summer holidays means coach trips for lots of Wearside people.

Maybe you went on a day trip with the local club, pit lodge, over-60s club, youth club or just with pals.

We hope this will bring back memories of seafront walks, fish and chips or browsing the local gift shops.

We've got 9 photos from the Sunderland Echo archives, showing trips from Hylton Castle, Southwick, Ryhope and Chester Road.

See if you can spot someone you know.
