In the 1983 Telephone Directory both The Pennywell and The Eagle, are listed.( I should have checked it first  >:(  )It seems that The Pennywell for some reason is not listed in "Sunderland Public Houses" published 2003, was it closed by then?

the pennywell is now some sort of social services building the eagle was knocked down along with the shops. the shops in the middle of the cresent  just to the south of acadamy 360 (pennywell school).the pennywell sold vaux bear and i think the eagle was either scottish and newcasle or witbread.now there is no pubs or clubs in pennywell the nearerest pubs are the grindon mill on chester road and pennywell comrades but this is in south hylton at the top of hylton bank.i think both pubs shut because the lack of trade and they were no go areas for all but the regulers.

hello neil!
thankyou so much for looking into this for me!
so if i understand this - the building is still there but being used for social services?
i am now hoping that a photo will turn up or i can get up there sometime to see for myself!
many thanks to all that have helped me.
