Nine memorable pictures from Sunderland's Welcome Tavern as we toast the East End favourite

Join us in the East End of Sunderland for a look at the Welcome Tavern in retro.

We have photos from 2004 onwards, showing fundraising, football and memorabilia.

Who remembers the day when The Welcome won the Echo’s Local Pub of the Year Award in 2016?

Or how about the time when the pub’s football team had a great laugh in 2009 as they sang happy birthday to the ref!

We have that and much more from the Echo archives. Enjoy.
