Give yourselves a round of applause. Because our fantastic Wearside Echoes Facebook page now has 20,000 members.
The milestone number has just been passed and we thank every one of you for backing our tribute to Sunderland’s nostalgia.
‘It has been an absolute privilege to look back every day’
Every day, our Wearside Echoes Facebook page brings you photos, stories and other snippets from the past to keep you in touch with Wearside’s history - and it is free to join.
Wearside Echoes is a sister to the Sunderland Echo social media page and our retro tribute has been going strong ever since it first started in 2018.
Sunderland Echo nostalgia writer Chris Cordner has been involved from the start and said: “It has been an absolute privilege to look back every day.
The brand has grown since 2018
“Sunderland is a place that I love and I have supported the Black Cats for 58 years but it’s not just sport that I like to highlight. All forms of Wearside life are an honour to cover.”
Since its inception eight years ago, the Wearside Echoes brand has grown.
Members of the Facebook page can sign up for a monthly newsletter which features the best of our nostalgia coverage.
The new Wearside Echoes bookazine was published just before Christmas and is still available to buy from Amazon at £12 for 140 pages of nostalgia. Get your copy here.
You can also find more coverage of the past in the retro section of the Sunderland Echo website.
And there’s a regular tribute to our heritage in the Sunderland Echo newspaper.
All that is available to the people of Wearside at home and living around the world - and we thank all of you for supporting us.
