Roker Park 1900
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

The illuminations were a yearly event in Roker Park and it was magic as a young child to visit each year - particularly scarey was Marley's Ghost in a cave in the ravine.

The other memory was of fishing for tiddlers in the pond or having rides on the little train.

RE: RE: Illuminations

Marley's Ghost used to scare the living daylights out of me! This used to be in the early 1950s, but not having visited Sunderland for decades I'm not even sure if they have the illuminations any more.
