Nine of the best Sunderland pubs for a pre-Christmas night in 1964

It’s that time of year when festive nights out with friends are on the cards.

But we wanted to know what a Sunderland night out might have looked like 60 years ago.

Historian and Sunderland Antiquarian Society member Ron Lawson had the answers and here are nine pubs which might bring back memories from 1964 - including the Railway Tavern, Rose and Crown and The Parade.

9. The Pallion
