The area is totalling unrecognisable from my youth when the ship yards were still a going concern along both the Wear and the Tyne. Still remember all the excitement of a new launch on either river and watching the ships doing sea trails along the coast. Thanks for showing Molly as I haven't been back for quite a few years now.
What a fantastic piece of art and a fitting tribute to the shipyard girls. Well done to Dr Ron Lawson, what a talented artist. And thank you for your video
Yes, I saw this on BBC breakfast news. A presenter from London/ Salford. But frankly, I'd far rather you did the piece for the BBC - because you have a genuine interest and passion for the Sunderland area. Thanks for your video.
Nice to highlight the Shipyard girls I grew up in Sunderland born in November 59 , The video to me is sad, it bears no resemblance to the town i knew It looks desolate and dead compared to the bustling riverside i knew My granda, my dad and my aunty all worked at either Doxfords or Bartrams (A&P) Nice to see someone young being interested in the City your generation have now inherited Keep up the great videos and stay safe
Nice viedeo. We will visit when we come to Sunderland later in the year. My gram worked at the yards during the war. She was i riviter & was 40 years old. I think she enjoyed the war years, a lot of them did.
Another great video of my home town, your presentation style and character makes it very easy to watch each and every one of your videos 🙂 Thanks very much for that 👍
Wouldn't it be fitting that when these new studios are up and running the first thing they should do is make a movie or a series telling the storey of these girls did for the war effert
Thank you so much for this intimate and lovely video, beautifully delivered. You did Molly, the Soroptimists and me, the artist, proud. ❤🙏
I was born in Sunderland and moved away 40 yr ago I’m visiting this year and I hope to follow your trail Really enjoyed this Subscribed and Shared

Great to see Molly on the dockside . Thanks for the story and the video
It was fab to see after following the progress of the sculpture being made, a lovely addition to Sunderland riverside ☺️

Bless ya Molly. 🤩
Great video and a much deserved statue to the woman of sunderland who worked so hard in the shipyards, a great reminder and memory for years to come.
Definitely! I saw alot of people looking at Molly, so I think she's going to be a very popular landmark on the river and rightly so ☺️
Not been near the wear for a while since I been to university in Sunderland so I missed this new sculpture will have to check it out

Thanks very much for that 👍
Love this video and your channel! Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you so much! More North East history videos on the way!😊
I saw this on Look North. I half expected you to be on it. 😁
Brilliant! Love the history and detail of the shipyard girls statue. Very interesting xx 😊
It's definitely a subject I'd love to make more videos about, pleased you enjoyed this video!😁
My granny worked as a welder at the Sunderland shipyards during the war ! is there a list of workers anywhere, great video.
Use to go to university there and have local family but I’ve not seen this statue will have to go there to visit it

As a child I would count the ships on the river. A lovely walk today, but so many live destroyed through unemployment.
No monument to the tens of thousands of men who worked in the yards funny that
There's a whole floor in the Winter garden museum about them 🙄
