Take a look at an iconic set of Sunderland images as never seen before.
The women who worked in the shipyards during World War II can now be seen in colour thanks to the use of AI technology.
All of these scenes were recorded in 1941 and show women working as platers, scrapers, turners, painters and welders.
Six thousand women were employed in industry in Sunderland at the peak period of the war effort.
We would love to hear from you if any of your family had stories to tell of relatives who achieved amazing milestones during the war. Get in touch and share your family history by emailing [email protected]
