Sooo many historic buildings in Sunderland! Absolutely fascinating.❤
There is! I even surprised myself with how much history there was whilst making this video 😅
it was nice in the 60s, and went to the dogs in the 70s.
As an historian born in Sunderland I appreciate these walks and talks about Sunderland's great past. Good for you.
Fantastic video. Lived in Sunderland all my life a didn’t know half of this 👌
Thank you! 😁 I'm pleased you learned something new!
I left Sunlun 3 decades ago so have loved the recent, as well as the more distant, history tours of the town. Well done for putting in the time and effort; hugely appreciated.
I have recently moved back to Sunderland after a little hiatus of 40 years! I joined the Royal Navy at 16 and I've just got home? Lots of poor content about this old town online, and you rock up and take the show to task! If you haven't been approached by local TV yet I would be very suprised........stevie
I haven't been approached by local TV, although I was on BBC Look North a few months ago about the TikTok's I create!😅 I love being able to show the North East in a new light from the grim depressing stories that are portrayed here!
Born and bred in sunderland, good on you for showing us all the history, i love stuff like this ❤, xxx
Thank you so much! 😊 Sunderland gets a bit forgotten about so I'm trying to preserve as much as possible on video
Brilliant little film the time's lve walked down high street east to visit granda and auntie in wear garth ,i was born in 1956 so many moons ago and i loved going to liverpool house to see santa, my fist job at 15 was at Binns . I never knew a lot of history of the buildings so thankyou for history lesson.
I knew of the beginnings of SAFC linked with Hendon Board School, which I attended from 1967-73. One time Sunderland legend ,Raich Carter , once live opposite from the school on Nobles Bank Road . Thanks for the video 😊⭐️
Oh wow! That must have been amazing going to school with such a famous neighbour 😊
@@northeastnostalgic5071 haha no I meant he lived there decades before !
Amazing historic tour of Sunderland town centre which goes unnoticed at ground level walking from place to place. Victorian era investment in Sunderland was huge leaving jewels which todays council need to make the most of now.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment 😊 I do agree, there is so many historic places that need investment in Sunderland to prevent them being lost forever!
Absolutely loved the video. Growing up in East Durham this is the town.
Would go here loads with my Mam and Dad. Loved it when we would head over to the east side of the town. Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos now.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment and I'm pleased you liked this video! There's so many bits of history in town 😊
Beautiful architecture, its a shame these buildings couldn't be restored. Very interesting history facts x
So pleased you liked this!😁
They are/have already been restored
Fantastic and interesting video. Thanks for putting the time and effort in. I was born in Sunderland and I have lived here most of my adult life, 67 now, and I have learnt a thing or two from your video. Thank you.
late night xmas shopping in joplings back in the 90s was mint ❤
My dad was born in Jarrow but supported Sunderland since he was a little boy, and as such, I have grown up a massive Sunderland fan. I only manage to go up there with him a couple of times a year for games, but the area means so much to me. I love your videos because they teach me about the heritage of the city I feel so connected to. Thank you!!
Hi loving your videos of Sunderland and it’s history, lots of my memories around the places you’ve visited I moved from Sunderland in 97, I live in Shropshire now, it looks like it’s changed a lot but still learning about my home town of which of which I’m proud of, seeing it again through your video’s is great, my memories thank you.
A lot of Sunderland has changed but it's nice to look back to see what parts are still the same 😊 I'm hoping to create more Sunderland videos soon and hope they bring back more memories for you!
Fyi. One can't be "loving" it as it is not correct grammar. The correct term is I "love" it.
Enjoyed this a lot. Despite being born and bred and living in Sunderland for my first 40+ years, Sunniside is an area I hardly frequented (apart from the odd drinking establishment, usually in the dark) but seeing those fantastic old buildings has inspired me to return for a good nose around. Great stuff!
I'm pleased you've learned something! I think with Sunderland city centre, you're so used to going on the same paths and not going further east/west - next on my city centre videos will be holmeside so the other direction!
15:48 WOW! What a fantastic video. James Allan is my great great grandfather. I’ve sought out the day school before to see where he started it all.
Oh wow! That's amazing! 😁 The day school is being turned into something at the moment I think, some art studios and community things!
Thanks for posting, this has given me a lot of new info 👏
I'm pleased you liked it!😀
Fascinating, thank you. I always find that area interesting and beautiful, but also dark and grimy. Like something from Get Carter or The Krays.
fantastic , now do Seaburn have been left Sunderland now for 35yrrs, but you are brilliant at these videos your voice overs and history teaching is second to none.
Thank you very much 😊
Thanks for the videos, reminds me of my time in the 90s when I went to Sunderland uni
Brilliant commentary,,,,,, excellent and informative, you have a gift miss, oh and i love the accent.
Well done for doing this. I think the Liverpool House department store piece is a meme for modern Sunderland. ‘Demolished for future development’ and the video pans to show an extensive car park - with no cars parked in it.😉 Keep up the good work.
Oh I know! We have lots of car parks - but not quite a lot for people to park for 😂
Very interesting and extremely well presented!
Thank you so much! 😊
Keep up the brilliant content!
Thank you so much!😁 I definitely will!
Hi Kathrine, another great video. When i worked for Camrex paints in the 70s/early 80s, our laboratories were based in Norfolk House. My lab was in the inset part with the 3 lower windows near the end of your video, great memories of friends long gone ❤
So many nostalgic moments. If this was any other city these uildings would be snapped up and prime proprty - Sunderland has so many great buildings. Would love to see you get out into the surrounding areas such as Herrington, Houghton. Hetton Seham and so on. As someone from NE but living overseas these videos are prceless. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your comment!😊 I'll definitely try and get some videos about Herrington, Houghton, Hetton, Seaham and the surrounding areas, the North East has so much history!
Forgot SCS head office you walked past it ;) love the vids!
Great video ! 🍿▶️
Thank you so much!
Really enjoyed this 👌
I'm really pleased you did! 😁 I'm still getting used to RUclips editing as I'm used to snappy TikTok styles, but there'll definitely be more videos like this to come!
I thoroughly enjoyed your video thank you. Left Sunderland at 12 in 1975 for Canada so it was fun trying to place the buildings from my memory. May I suggest a similar video around Hendon Docks. Thank you
I'm so pleased you enjoyed it! Sunderland definitely has changed since 1975!😂 I did a video around Old Sunderland and the East End which might be interesting for you! The Hendon docks I think are part of the Port of Sunderland so are not accessible to the public anymore.
Thank you for all your hard work in the research and commentary of this video. All very, very good. Some lovely buildings reminding us how industrious Sunderland was. How you managed to film streets with no cars and no people amazes me. (Did they especially clear the city for your filming? Ho-ho)
I'm so pleased you liked this video, I loved creating it and researching more about our city and it's history 😁 I filmed this video on a Sunday early morning so there is no people about - people spoil the vibe I'm going for! 😂
Sir Henry Irving, England's greatest actor made his debut at The Lyceum Theatre.
Very interesting,love to see some videos on backhouse and doxford parks x
I don't think I've ever been to Backhouse or Doxford Park but I think they both are previous grand estates with mansions so I'll definitely add them to my list of video ideas!
@@northeastnostalgic5071 great stuff we’ll worth a visit x
Our town needs some serious investment it’s dropping too bits , no shops it’s a joke
Hi great video, I have just talked to my mother regarding your channel, My mother used to teach sunderland history, passed your cahnne[ on to her, on mackies corner, which i have confirmed with here, its opposite mackies corning, little know fact, there are elephants on top of the building
Hi Sean 😊 I'm pleased you and your mother like my videos! Yes I love the Elephant Tearooms building opposite Mackies Corner! It's currently being restored and I did a video on it when I was able to attend a hard hat tour - you might find that interesting!
@@northeastnostalgic5071 I would also like to give you some family history, from what i know about the area, roker park, the games, sneaking it 20 miniutes from the end of game, my mother and father met in the fulwall end, we used to live fulwall, my brother after his army career lives seaburn dean. do you have email attached to your channel
Love the review of Sunderland and the blue circular boards outside certain buildings telling us of the people who lived or worked there in the past. It all goes to show that Plaque lives matter. 😂😂😂
They certainly do! 😂
why is everything closed? did you film this at 6am on a sunday?
I did actually, last Sunday at 6am! 😂 I find people in the background distract from the places I film but I can film other videos with people wandering about if you prefer that 😅
No your approach is bang on.
Absolutely terrible i live in sunderland and this was shocking please do not do any more 😢😢😢
@@victorthirlwell6216 I really don't understand your comment, I'm promoting the history of our city and celebrating the little heritage we have left. Parts of the city aren't very picturesque but I think that's what makes Sunderland so special, as you appreciate the little things even more. Please don't watch my future videos if you don't like it 😊
Great video.. you should present them a bit more as I can tell you're an engaging and attractive lady..
Thank you!😁 I'm still getting used to the RUclips format as I've come over from tiktok but the videos will get more engaging ☺️
Disgracefully left to ruin
It's definitely an area of two halves; the section around the post office is lovely but the area near Villiers Street definitely need some attention!
Sunderland council have a lot to do with it , high rates for shops , parking tickets for people visiting the city on a night - drives trade away
Listen, pet. If you dropped the continuous use of the American term "head" instead of our English "go," every time you give directions, it would not be so tiresome. Keep it English, pet, not American pap.
Sunderland is so depressing
Glad you enjoyed wasting your time watching.
@@jcftm31 it’s not a waste a buddy, and obviously it doesn’t take long to realise it’s still a shit hole x
