Remember getting one of these printers with a Spectrum 48+ can thing I remember the most is the weird metallic paper and the faint burning smell when it printed out.

Believe or not I have still got that Whizzer and Chips annual. The kids love reading it, and some of the others I kept.

I have a few. This one is of Deptford Junction in 1977 with Pyrex ahead of me and Ayres Quay gasworks behind me. The severed tracks off to the left went to Lambton Staithes and were closed in 1967 together with the signalbox which was in the recess on the left of the bridge. The lines on the right led to the Gasworks, Johnson's Coal Depot and the Pyrex warehouse.

Good 1967 photo here. http://www.bluebell-railway-museum.co.uk/archive/photos/jjs/b09/9-105-16.htm

This is another from 1977 showing the line going off to the Pyrex warehouse on the right. It used to be worked by an 08 shunter with a couple of 12 ton vans. They would leave the vans in Pallion yard and run them down there later in the day. I think the track to the warehouse closed about 1975 or 76.

Books from my Dad's childhood. Early 1950s. He's now 73 and still won't let me have a read of them!

I took this pic of the derelict Millfield Cinema in 2004 on my mobile phone which would cost about £1.50 now. Nice that it didn't get pulled down.

If you look on the side of that building, from the bridge, you can see the original outline/paintwork from where the old railway station building used to be that was on the bridge...

Sunderland would be such a nice place if our leaders had not destroyed most of its heritage....
