sunderland ah the voters of labour then complain..next

get rid of labour they have held the shackles on sunderland for years they drag sunderland down..not to mention the cultural centre i suppose its somewhere to go to keep warm

The tape wasn't available in the shops. It was a tape for singles used by DJs and the music industry. This is wrong. Why was he given a new identity when he was released from prison..? Why don't you investigate that.?

Just seen this. I live in the USA now but I was 16 when this happened. One of the best days of my life!!

One of my favourite watering holes in the city !!! Always a friendly welcome 😂😂😂

I was born in Sunderland. Left 1976. It's not the place it's the people, they are so negative and weak. Terrified of change. It is a very sad place.

Respect Paul for doing this in the winter! It's great when the memorials tell us a bit more about the person, but that would require money. I'm going to look up the zeppelin story. An old man in Hartlepool once told me he was born the day a zeppelin hit the town.

Is this not 2024?😂😂😂

I was born in Sunderland. Jacky Whites market. I couldn't live there ( Sunderland ) but memories as a bairn, fxxk i miss them . The chip shop in the far corner, the girl serving i loved her. 1973/4. Wonder where she is now. Bugger me she was gorgeous. Funny how we think. Anyone know her ? Let me know. I'll buy her her a first class ticket here. I live in Bangkok. I'm not poor !

Sid james will always be there

I started my career in the shipyards in the early 80s and remained in Sunderland till the late 90s before leaving for a new life. It breaks my heart to look from a distance how the council have devastated something that we were all very proud of. Sunderland Council You Should Be Ashamed… You were the creator of this deprivation in your inadequacy to sustain what was once a town people were honoured to be part of…

Great video but I find the music a distraction, it won’t stop me from following you though 😊 keep up the good work!

Watched a few of his videos, doe's one on the empire and the Dun Cow. Cheers Dave.

Excellent - reposted to Farcebook and GAB.

We will never see their like again! 😮😮😮

What a fascinating story! In amongst the grime, sweat & sheer hard physical work (and ever-present danger) of old-fashioned dockyards with the indescribable din of hammering, riveting and the general crashing and banging of heavy materials being moved around. All set to a background of bombing & air-raids by the Luftwaffe. What amazing times those were!

Mackem gals doing 💪... 🤗

Er er er er er , any other words ? Jesus boring idiot.

My mum and dads wedding reception was at Mengs and I have a copper serving tray from there(stamped with the name)Apparently it was given to them by a waiter who worked there

Always like to listen to Ian talk about my hometown.

I lived a few doors away from both them

They have had umpteen attempts at getting This Town in order both Tory and Labour since the war and cocked it up each time, Now we have a City that only the well to do can enjoy. We the ordinary people have been priced out of the town centre. Grandiose schemes that left the true Sunderland people behind.

The Convid Plandemic 👍

As a kid fist visit toBRECHNERS in crowtree rd, Thenbus Station for JW, GREAT CHUMMIES. Started vaux 1959 July, yes along for chummies (sweets)

Thank you so much! Thoroughly enjoyed this

Loved JW as a kid, especially Ibotsons and the sweet stall and the cafe ❤️🇨🇦

Knew them all straight away, born mid 80's always lived in Sunderland. Tbh, I don't hear them as much these days. I'd wager a guess the company you keep/kept will have a baring on you knowing them.

I was wondering if the Gannett was going to get a mention. Used to have a lunchtime pint in the early 70's there.

McEwans Best Scotch, was was my preferred slurp.😁

Maccomo was buried there before that section was given over to War graves

"Lived in Sunderland, that's why his English was so good." Aye...it wor reel propa.😁

Loved savaloy dips...can't get them now.

The Chau family were friends of mine, owned the Chop Suey House. Danny was brother into kung fu and he was not to be messed with.

Might have been the Chinese we used to go to in Park Lane area. 3 courses for 30p, banana fritter in syrup? Early/mid 70's.

I DJ'd In rascals ( and victorias not mentioned in the article) for many years...

That was brill mate, i used to work at Digbys n i never knew it was a picture house prior to being a public house 👍

i enjoyed this with your little stories well done , Londoner

In 1988 there was a Bentlease night club🙄i dont know if still available in Sunderland now🤔

I remember Parker’s next to old bus station and the best ..Elizabeth s in bridge street, proper old style food.

What a lovely gentle informative video. Thank you for posting it.

The Somali on Hylton Road not far from the Railway Tavern

Modernism took a wrecking ball to sunderland .

Glorious building! That part of the city centre has received a lot of investment recently and is well worth a visit.

I can remember this bloke from Premier passions doing the stadium tour before the stadium even opened.

Seem to remember an Indian restaurant called the Keralla just around the corner in the street behind the Wheatsheaf, did a mean Vindaloo.

Nice tour.. banter very entertaining too
