All of them used to be open for trade in the bustling East End of Sunderland. Sadly no more.
But historian Ron Lawson has made sure they will stay in the memory of city residents for decades to come.
The member of Sunderland Antiquarian Society has compiled a remarkable collection of more than 10,000 photographs showing pubs mainly from the Sunderland area.
You can find out more by visiting the Antiquarians every Wednesday and Saturday at their base in Douro Terrace from 9.30am to 12pm.
In the meantime, take a browse through Ron’s 13 reminders of hostelries we once loved.
1. Nutwith Hotel
The Nutwith Hotel, on Sans Street and Coronation Street, was a landmark from 1834 to 1962. Its owner followed horse racing and one of the horses he backed was called Nutwith which went on to win the St Leger in 1843.
After winning a decent amount of money, he named his pub after the horse. Photo: Ron Lawson JP. Photo: Ron Lawson
2. Golden Lion
The Golden Lion on High Street East stood from 1732 to 1963 and was once a staging post. When it was demolished, the lion which stood above the door was preserved and placed in Sunderland Museum. Photo: Ron Lawson JP. Photo: Ron Lawson
