It's one of a string of Wearside pubs up for sale

Let's have a toast to Greens pub in Sunderland.

The Low Row favourite has been put up for sale, along with numerous other locals.

The Sunderland Echo reported on the news that Greens as well as The Prior in Doxford Park, Britannia in Houghton, Cross Keys in Washington, Guide Post Inn in Springwell Village, Black Bull in East Boldon, and Lambton Arms in Chester-le-Street will all go on the market in the New Year.

Administrators have hailed it as 'a rare opportunity' for an investor to take on the portfolio.

In the meantime, join us for an Echo archive journey into past pictures from Greens.
