Nine Sunderland fair attractions from times past, featuring everything from bouncy castles to bonny babies

It's so typically English - but what makes a good Summer fair?

Is it this line-up of events which we chose from the Sunderland Echo archives?

Our virtual fair includes a jazz band, bonny baby competition, hook-a-prize, tombola and a bouncy castle.

We even threw a welly hoying event into the mix.

We went back in time to Seaburn, Downhill, Ryhope, Barmston and Penshaw for our archive collection.
