15 pictures from a fantastic Sunderland pub as we go retro with the Rosedene

Customers, staff and charity events are all included

Tuck in to this feast of memories from a Sunderland pub which should bring back great memories.

It’s the Rosedene in Queen Alexandra Road and we have Sunderland Echo photo memories of functions, staff, customers, Christmas parties and the changing look of the pub through the years.

We’ve also got a photo from the day the pub held an Italian night to raise money for a great charity.

Have a look, See if you can spot a familiar face and then get in touch to tell us more.

Or maybe there is another pub from Sunderland and East Durham you would like to see us put the nostalgia focus on. Tell us which one to feature next by emailing [email protected]

Back to 2004 when John and Anita Dobsworth were pictured outside the Rosedene. It was through to the last five in a national pub competition. | Local Library
