The sky at night in Sunderland - more than 50 years ago
Echo photographers snapped a whole host of subjects in the 1960s, from World Cup football matches to snow showers and ship launches.
But one set of photos from the archives really stands out, as they were all taken in a single night in and around Sunderland’s town centre.
“It was very, very unusual for photographers to go out and about around Sunderland of an evening,” said Susan Swinney, photographic archivist for the Echo.
