00:07 10,000 people. Our daily dose of nostalgia from Sunderland and County Durham has been

00:22 photos and general memories from Wearside's past. Let's look at the highlights.

00:28 We brought out an Echoes newsletter which was dedicated to memories of Sunderland's

00:34 1973 FA Cup run. Our link up with the North East Film Archive has been a thrilling section

00:41 of the Echoes retro coverage with a look back at cine clips. Just as successful has been

00:48 our links with Sunderland Antiquarian Society and TikTok sensation Catherine Taylor who

00:55 has shared her own special take on the city's history. But just as importantly you, our

01:03 growing band of followers, have shared your own recollections and we thank you for that.
