On the 1967 OS map there is a factory marked simply as "Works" in the V of the railways where one line went south over the Victoria Bridge and the other went west through Biddick Lane.There's a road called "Shepherd Way". Can anyone tell me what it made ?

I'm proud of my years spent in and around Washington New town 1970 to 1980. St. Bob's was an absolute blast, Blackfell and Oxclose had tons of energy. Burn's in me, now that I live 3000 miles away.

The Palace brought back memories. It was The Locarno back then and when it first opened there was a man in Top Hat and Tails checking everyone trying to get in on a Saturday night. There was a minimum dress code and I thought I would be fine with my made to measure suit from Jacksons the Tailors. However it was not to be, he would not let me in because I was wearing white socks!!!!!

Sunderland - a great town when I was growing up there, until it wasn't! Seems to me it all went pear shaped with closure of shipyards, the mines, many worthy businesses and the loss of jobs and incomes that went with all that! The pity of it is that there does not seem to be a real plan for the future, or am I being a merchant of gloom?
@johnwilliamson3228
@johnwilliamson3228 Жыл бұрын
No Stewart W, you're not a merchant of gloom. You just expect better things. I think the worst I can remember was the early 90s, but I think it's on the up now that the Vaux site has seen some development. The problem with boarded up shops is that most towns and cities are experiencing that. But I could be accused of being over optimistic.

this is my favourite memories of Sunderland so far, you've got photos of places that I can remember and went to regularly and have real memories of. we lived in a pub in Silksworth from about 1987 to 1990 so fond memories of the bridges, crowtree South shields and the metro centre. the photo of the shops by the bus station really choked me up because that was the view I had every time I got on and off a bus. everything was so much cheaper then and we had proper snowy winters and some cracking summers, remember swimming in the sea at South shields.
