On this day: October 20 events in Sunderland through the decades

Halloween in Monkwearmouth and history in High Southwick

We've got memories from a day in Sunderland history.

And it's today. Plenty has happened on Wearside over the years on October 20.

Champion shot putter Geoff Capes was at Josephs in 1981 and a new Hintons store opened in Fulwell.

We've got retro news from High Southwick, and Farringdon School too.

Enjoy.
