Sunderland town nostalgia.

[ighty seven]

remember that little shop just outside Mowbray Park that sold the little fishing nets ? and then into the park trying to catch fish in the pond. and the big lads used to jump onto the little island in the middle of the pond.. early 90's I'm talking.

The Fish bowl pet shop?

Remember that aye, also the Underground toilets outside Mowbray park, roughly where the revolving door entrance to Winter Gardens is now.

The Fish bowl pet shop?

is that what it was ? did it have a fish or some kind of aquatic theme painted on the outside of it or summit ? which side of the park was it ? Yates' side ? opposite the current museum entrance ?

The pet shop was there for years not sure when it closed round from Yates(they expanded into several old shops).There was also a little newsagents they may have had nets being close to the park
