2. Fawcett Street at Christmas in 1967
Dozens of members loved this photo showing the bright Christmas lights in Fawcett Street in 1967. Janice Henderson said the view was 'wonderful' and Freda Davison commented: "Just look at the town then full of lovely people all in their best." Photo: se
3. Thorpe Maternity Hospital
It was the place where many Wearsiders were born and the little maternity hospital near Easington attracted plenty of comments when we posted this nostalgic photo. Lilian Anderson said: "Was in 1954 and 1956 first for my son then my daughter. I live in South Africa now. Sat the other day wondering if it still stands."
Sadly Lilian, the hospital was demolished after it closed in the 1980s. Photo: se

The St Thomas Street entrance to the arcade was a picture we posted in late November. It came from 1968 and lots of you remembered it. They included June Humphries
who said: "I remember this entrance.....oh the memories." Photo: se
