They're the same streets but look how they have changed.
We scoured the Sunderland Echo archives to find 9 photos of well-known roads in the city.
Then, we found the same road as it looked up to date, thanks to the excellent Google Maps service.
And now we can share that comparison on streets such as Ryhope Road, Chester Road, and North Bridge Street.
Have a look and then get in touch to tell us how much they have changed.
