Time please, for some
THIS WEEK’S DELVE INTO OUR PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVES HAS RESULTED IN US RAISING A GLASS OR TWO TO
Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps was the title of a song in 1980, and a popular order in pubs once upon a time.
Now the order would probably go something along the lines of, one gin and tonic, a large glass of wine and a soft drink, please.
When looking through our archives for a selection of pub photographs for this week’s nostalgia picture spread, we couldn’t help but smile.
What happy memories came flooding back.
We couldn’t publish all the photographs we found, but hopefully the ones we have printed will make you smile too.
Who remembers meeting up with family and friends and sometimes work colleagues for a night out.
Or perhaps having a pint with fellow Sunderland AFC supporters before walking over the bridge to one of the many home games.
One of the questions, we did ask ourselves was how many times has the Beehive changed its name?
If you know the answer to this question, please let us know.
