We’re off on another shopping trip. This time to the 1970s.
Sunderland was a busy place, especially if you visited stores such as Joplings, C&A, or Lermans just like these shoppers did.
They are all in the picture as well as well-known traders in Olive Street, Vine Place, and Church Street in Seaham.
It’s a gallery of excellent Echo archive scenes. Take a look.
