This collection is comprised almost entirely of images which have never previously appeared in print.Starting in the earliest days of photography, travelling through the war years to the post-war period and finishing with the shipyards and pits of the 1970s, in the last days of those industries, this collection will delight and amaze in equal measure. This volume will draw upon the extensive research of Living History North East.With the memories of Sunderland residents long gone and the contribution of many of the area's current residents, it is a book that celebrates every aspect of life in the area.It will enthral residents and visitors alike.
