It's no secret that the entirety of the North East has undergone major redevelopments over the past few years, with some of the region's biggest cities seeing an abundance of new establishments, housing and jobs created.
One of which is Sunderland, which has seen its fair share of changes as of late - with city-wide developments continuously taking place to better the area for local residents and visiting parties.
And with so many changes taking place, it's sometimes easy to forget how much has changed for the better on Wearside. It's wise to take a moment to reflect every now and then - comparing where the city is now and where it has came from.
