Walking tour guide Ian Mole takes us on a tour of the places in Sunderland's city - formerly town - centre where some favourite Wearside pubs of the 60s were located
Hi thanks for the memories moved away in the late nineties, but fantastic memories of lots of the pubs with me mates brilliant times from early 70,s on thanks
Thank you so much for this, brought back so many memories....happy days way back then ...i often wondered did anyone ever fall down the stairs in The Gannet....i used to wait outside of The Phoenix on a Sunday lunchtime with my cousin...dad always had crisps for us...eeh take me back just for a while..x
My great grandparents lived on Ormond Street number 49 i believe....my grandparents would take me tò Sunderland...loved it....Sunderland was always home as they moved to Gloucestershire in 1939 however my great uncle remained in Sunderland ❤
Thanks for bringing back happy memories .I recall the Mowbrey deciding to have a happy hour from 5.30 until 6.30 .This drew in the crowd that spent their afternoon enjoying cider in Mowbrey Park. I overheard the bar manager discussing with the barmaid about the behaviour getting more boisterous, the manager said don't worry its 6.30 now they we all go shortly. Alas for him he didn't realise they had stashed pints under tables and behind plants ,led to a evening the resembled the muppet show
The old 29 and the Londonderry were my go to on a weekend. Enjoyed the video and seeing Sunderland as it is today. Not been there for about 12yrs or so.. looks like a lot has changed. Cheers🍻
Very interesting, but could do without the background music. I was born in Sunderland in 1952 (next door to the Brougham Arms, right in the town centre, but left when I was 20. I hardly recognise the place now. Maybe see you one day.
one of the pubs i liked was the Old 29, saw some canny bands in there, especially the "angelic upstarts" and the "toy dolls" happy days.
And THANKYOU for the tour

Station buffet used to shut 10pm as well, lovely pint of Worthington E.
In one of the shots was a building with a sign on the top The Peacock. Didn't that used to be The Londonderry?
