Lost 60s pubs of Sunderland's old town centre

[@alangardner6660]

one of the pubs i liked was the Old 29, saw some canny bands in there, especially the "angelic upstarts" and the "toy dolls" happy days.

In one of the shots was a building with a sign on the top The Peacock. Didn't that used to be The Londonderry?

Thanks for bringing back happy memories .I recall the Mowbrey deciding to have a happy hour from 5.30 until 6.30 .This drew in the crowd that spent their afternoon enjoying cider in Mowbrey Park. I overheard the bar manager discussing with the barmaid about the behaviour getting more boisterous, the manager said don't worry its 6.30 now they we all go shortly. Alas for him he didn't realise they had stashed pints under tables and behind plants ,led to a evening the resembled the muppet show

I started my career in the shipyards in the early 80s and remained in Sunderland till the late 90s before leaving for a new life. It breaks my heart to look from a distance how the council have devastated something that we were all very proud of. Sunderland Council You Should Be Ashamed… You were the creator of this deprivation in your inadequacy to sustain what was once a town people were honoured to be part of…

Station buffet used to shut 10pm as well, lovely pint of Worthington E.

[@neildutton8077]

I was wondering if the Gannett was going to get a mention. Used to have a lunchtime pint in the early 70's there.

My great grandparents lived on Ormond Street number 49 i believe....my grandparents would take me tò Sunderland...loved it....Sunderland was always home as they moved to Gloucestershire in 1939 however my great uncle remained in Sunderland ❤

[@kevingreen6924]

I enjoyed that. My dad had a paper shop opposite thelma street. Have you done anything outside the town centre? I'm subscribed.

[@neildutton8077]

McEwans Best Scotch, was was my preferred slurp.😁

[@tomarmstrong5244]

Very interesting, but could do without the background music. I was born in Sunderland in 1952 (next door to the Brougham Arms, right in the town centre, but left when I was 20. I hardly recognise the place now. Maybe see you one day.

[@commonman131]

[@commonman131]

The Continental was open a 4 years before that.
