Let’s discover some of the history within Sunderland’s city centre!
I’m from the North side of Sunderland so let’s walk over the Wearmouth Bridge; an iconic bridge that has been built upon three times over it’s history!
Thank you so much for all the love on my previous Sunderland history tour, it really means the world that you like my RU-vid videos! Please let me know where you'd like me to go next :)

Although not from Sunderland I spent a few years there as a young lad, starting in 1948, when my father took an engineering job there. The day we arrived, the family ate at Meng's Restaurant on Fawcett Street. I seem to remember it as being quite posh. That adjective did not extend to the rest of the town, which was a grubby yet vibrant place. There was a bustle about it, which seems absent judging by today's video. Thank you for your effort to bring Sunderland's rich history alive. Love your accent.

The people of Sunderland fought with the Scott’s against the royalists during the civil war against the monarchy and the geordies in the battle of Boldon hill

Like most places, it seems the centre of Sunderland has been ruined. I loved these old photos of Fawcett St and Southwick. I'm a Hartlepool lad but I enjoy architecture and I would have loved to take a walk around these streets in 1910. We've lost so much 😕

As a child my mam walked over the bridge and on the corner there was a small hut where a man sold cigarettes and sweets long time gone now does anyone else remember it and also a section of elefant hide which would find its way around the city centre carried I suspect by drunken mackems
