Haven't been back to home to Sunderland for 14 years. By that station is a bit vast. Worked for Sunderland libraries for almost 18 years. Attended Sunderland University. Brings back memories.
Glad my video found it's way to you!
Yeah, that station is now dirtier, had a flood, without working toilets (they say they won't reopen) and still vast and empty.
Also, I don't think we have a library anymore unfortunately.
Hopefully, wherever you are now it's nice, there's only one real reason to come back to this place, and that's the coast.
Cheers for commenting Gill,
All the best
Sunderland isn’t that bad, it has loads going for it. Stunning coastline and I went to uni there, loved every minute of my time there. You should check out my hometown of Chorley, makes Sunderland look like St Tropez.
Haha really liked that end bit mate.
I absolutely love Sunderland actually, the beaches are some of the best in the country and yeah, I would hate Sunderland to even resemble almost anywhere else.
I'm really happy you have great memories of this city.
All the best mate.
Thank you for the tour. It was quite enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was born and raised in Sunderland many years ago , when it was rather nice .
Outside of the Bridges shopping centre , Looks like downtown Detroit nowadays .
🎉 Great Vids wo kid, Marra, 🎉
Just watched this , unfortunately Marks & Spencer’s is now closed down ☹️
🎉🎉 Big love to all tha Gordie's an Mackams in a de plaaaaaaace 🎉 🎉
🎉🎉 looks Mint 🎉 🎉
Shop at Binns, it was similar to "Are you being served" I'm free Mr Humphries" and yeah it did have a connecting tunnel, did you notice on the walk how many empty retail units there are
Unfortunately, yes I did see them all, it's sad, but I've heard that a few things are happening soon
do you use a chest camera, what is it called. Great video! I always enjoy watching
@PBNYLD many thanks for your kind comment, glad you enjoyed the video.
In this video, I used the insta360 go 3 with a magnetic clip thing that was included with it, it actually did a pretty good job considering it doesn't allow external mics and is only the size of a tiny chipolata.
I highly recommend it as a starter camera, the new one just came out too if you want 4k footage.
Hope that helps 😃
Mowbray Park. After Tony Mowbray i hope 🎉 🎉
That wasn't the job centre it was customer service for local council, the job centre was on John Street, which was originally the second half of Woolworths the other on Fawcett street.
I am originally from Birmingham but live in Sunderland now it could be better
Used to have a German Market in Market Square at Christmas
It did
I'm sure it's cheaper to get a train at Newcastle that's why hardly no one uses it apart from to get on the metro
I go to London all the time from Sunderland on the grand Central, it's an express after York, only 3 hours 40 mins, it's spot on like
Sure I seen you one Browne road in Fulwell yesterday
Probs not you like haha
@@Karl-Mad no mate, that wasn't me ha some other poor lad with this mush bless him
Mowbray Park is still popular with the alcoholics 😂😂
Salt of the earth them lot
@@JordyShowWalks 🤣🤣
Library moved into the winter gardens
If a tree falls in the winter gardens and there's nobody around to hear it, does it still have a library there?
Makes you think doesn't it?
@JordyShowWalks never been sure how to answer that one.
You would think it would have a sound but is making a sound only classed as making a sound if someone hears it. If that's the case it doesn't make a sound.
Loads of foreigners 😮😢
@@emotivelyy_ luckily, diversity is a strength, even if it weakens a nation 🥲
I'm 71 now, sunderland was my home town, i left age 36, the best thing i ever ever did because sunderland is a shit hole always was and always will be... thank God i don't have to go back there EVER...
Awww Ian, I'm sad to hear that, the city itself is looking pretty good now...but there's still loads of issues and missing shops, all the people have changed now too, there's no more characters like there used to be.
Where did you end up if you don't mind me asking?
Cheers for the comment too mate.
@@JordyShowWalks I spent many years in Thailand and now I live in London UK...
@ianainsley7174 that sounds really good, I've lived in London too for 10 years, absolutely love it where I am, but travel up to Sunderland and Newcastle a lot, it's a mad contrast.
@@ianainsley7174 how do you find London? It gets a bad rap, but it's awesome
Bleak AF
😬
Your history of Sunderland isn't great. I could point you to far worse Cities to do one of your chat and walks ?
Aye I know absolutely loads about Sunderland, but this wasn't really anything to do with the history of the place, and yeah, been to much worse places than Sunderland, some right shi-toles to be fair, that's why I'm trying to show it more positively on this video, and also please feel free to share any historical facts for me or people who check the comments, I'm sure there's loads of interesting and surprising bits of history here, I'd love to know more.
Many thanks for the comment, hopefully in future videos, I'll be more prepared as this was just a little afternoon mooch.
The positives for the City I would say include Keel Square..new eating places such as the botanist and keel tavern which have both just opened. Vaux side. Riverside carpark, new foot Bridge being built to stadium of light, Riverside development , culture House in high Street West.. redevelopment of the old Civic Centre site and so on
@@neilscott910 exactly, literally the places that I've just done a video on the other day, I wanted to show that the place is moving into new life with all the rejuvenation going on.
I can only do videos on certain times and I sometimes miss the busier times, so it might look like I'm giving the city a bad rap, but I'm trying to show people who aren't from Sunderland what's going on.
Cheers again for the comment and the bits of insight,
All the best
@@JordyShowWalks I will look out and watch more of your videos..goodluck
