00:00I've just received four of the most rare images of Sunderland I think I've ever seen.
00:07They show a horse-drawn carriage dashing up High Street East.
00:12Another one shows bins in Fawcett Street.
00:16Then there's people relaxing in Mowbray Park.
00:19And look how packed High Street West is in this photo.
00:25But what's unusual about them is that they're all over 100 years old.
00:31And it's thanks to Philip Curtis from Sunderland Antiquarian Society that we have them all to enjoy.
00:39Here's how you can find out more about the Antiquarian Society and its fantastic work.
