Our journey goes from the Lane Arms to the Lambton Worm

Here's you chance to step back in time for a bite to eat and your favourite drink.

Forty years have passed since these photos were taken at the Lane Arms, Silver Dollar in The Galleries and a new bar at Red House.

It's a great mix of 1984 scenes but we want your memories of them - after you've had a good browse through our gallery of Echo archive pictures.

Join us for a drink in 1984 at venues across Wearside.
