The Peacock is one of Sunderland’s best known pubs and we just had to take a look back at some of its memorable scenes from recent years.
Whether it was refreshing drinks in 2017, table football in 2018 or wedding celebrations in 2019, the Sunderland Echo got it all - and more on camera.
There is service with a smile in 2021, huge tasty burgers with a background story in 2022, and a music festival scene from 2023.
But most of all, there are photo memories galore and we hope you enjoy them.
Have a look and then get in touch with your own recollections, or perhaps there is another Sunderland or East Durham pub you would like us to feature in our retro section.
If so, tell us more about it by emailing [email protected]
