    Sunderland Antiquarian Society

    Search for it on Facebook.

    If this works it's worthwhile 'liking' on Facebook 'cos you get git loads of pictures of old Sunderland such as Mackies corner with trams, the Pennywell shopping crescent or maybe old seaburn funfair pictured.

    Is that the view down to the bridge?

    I think I recognise the jewellers shop on the corner from years ago but don't know if it's still there.

    If you were standing at the entrance where the old station was, that's where you would be looking.

    The road sign above the jewellers says High street west.
    The traffic heading away is going on to the bridge.

    Anybody remember that small sweet shop between Rediffusion and Jones.
