Oddies was the Beefeater.
The Villiers was knocked down in the 70's IIRC

Shame, had my first pint in the Villiers and my first sexual encounter was with a lass whose parents ran the Black Bull, all my childhood memories are being bulldozed. :)

If the Beefeater was the pub opposite St. Marks Church I'm almost sure it was called The Black Bull. Anyone remember the Rose and Crown on High Street? Near Blacketts, the store that used tubes to pass cash up to the office. Cool as owt back in the day.

A tad before my time for the Black Bull on Hylton Road and the Rose and Crown.
I remember Blacketts mind.

Good news - big pub with a lot of history. Bit like the Dun Cow and Isis. We need to keep these pubs - they're part of our history. Hylton Road (the ski run) used to be a great alternative to the town. Back in the day it was Steels, Willow Pond, Mountain Daisy, Jollies, Stone Bridge (is that right? Long gone now), Railway Tavern, Oddies, Museum Vaults.

Got a book on architecture in Sunderland a while ago and the Mountain Daisy and its yellow and green tiles are mentioned in it. It was designed by W &TR Millburn who apparently did loads of pubs in that era, looks class like.

That sounds tiring. I assume it wasn't the actual route you took?

🤷‍♂️
I'm not a native of Sunland, so I'm not sure of the actual route, or in which order of all of the pubs we called into, but I do know we made our way down Hylton Road, and called into the pubs on the way down over.

They built most smart things like the Hawksley House and The Empire.
Industrialist glitterati.

OK my memory's not great and it was a canny few year ago. Don't know where I got Stone Bridge from.
 
Used to love a bank holiday session down Hylton Road back in the day.

Steels, Willa, Daisy, Railway, Oddies, Lansdowne, then finish off completely buckled in the Vaults chasing each other with the bog brush
 
My uncle's wake was in the Daisy. I'll never forget going for a piss and the toilets being smashed to pieces. Bit more perilous than your usual slippery floor.
