I love the story of Wearmouth's bridges and their 230 years of remarkable history

It was back in 1796 when the first Wearmouth bridge was built and it was safety tested by having soldiers march up and down.

Since then, the iconic landmark has seen City status, Olympic torches, Tall Ships displays and a marathon race.

It’s an event-packed tribute and see if you can remember all of these moments.

In case you missed it;

The day the Town Hall bells came down and caused a stir in Sunderland.

The Sunderland hotel which hit the headlines after its closure.
