There seemed to be a number of families living at the same address, I don't know if each Panns address was a separate street or alley or some form of tenement, any idea. Robson's don't show up on either photo. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bishopwearmouth Panns ran from Bridge Street (Bridge Crescent) to Low Street. The Parish Boundary between Bishopwearmouth and Sunderland crossed at Russell Street, and from there it was called Low Street. The Panns was a mixture of industry and houses. In 1858 No. 28 was occupied by a shoemaker and No. 30 by a sailmaker. There were still a number of residents in the 1881 Census. Regards Stan Mapstone www.mapstone.org
