It would be great if we could turn the clock back and relive Sunderland’s summers of the past in colour - and now we can!
Thanks to the wonders of AI technology, we turned all of these brilliant images of Wearside in decades gone by into full colour memories.
They include beach scenes, the High Street Baths, the mechanical elephant which used to take children on rides at Seaburn and the miniature railway getting ready for new season of visitors.
Have a look and see if you can spot someone you know as they enjoy a Sunderland summer from yesteryear.
And if these photos bring back wonderful recollections for you, get in touch and tell us more.
Or why not tell us which part of Sunderland’s past you would like to see in colour next.
