You walked in the door with blindfold, not knowing what lay before you. You exit via the all seeing figure head door with full sight of judgement made.

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.

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

I live near Sunderland, and your work is brilliant !,promoting the interest level around and about the area can only be a good thing

As a child I would count the ships on the river. A lovely walk today, but so many live destroyed through unemployment.

Bless ya Molly. 🤩

No monument to the tens of thousands of men who worked in the yards funny that

My granny worked as a welder at the Sunderland shipyards during the war ! is there a list of workers anywhere, great video.

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

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

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

Thank you so much for this intimate and lovely video, beautifully delivered. You did Molly, the Soroptimists and me, the artist, proud. ❤🙏

I saw this on Look North. I half expected you to be on it. 😁

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.

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.

Very good video. It was freezing today. Good history.

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

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 👍

Great to see Molly on the dockside . Thanks for the story and the video

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.

Brilliant! Love the history and detail of the shipyard girls statue. Very interesting xx 😊

Love this video and your channel! Looking forward to your next video.

Love your video, is this an annual event at the Black Country Museum? I went there in 2012 with my husband. My Dad and family came from Wolverhampton. We used to sing all the old songs on long car journeys, as a boomer baby (1946) I've got a bit emotional watching this. ❤

You need to get out more if you think this is the best.

We do that in the black country x

I reguraly eat this i out it in my tachine machine or the bread in toaster

could the lady in the hidden photograph be the same lady in the main photograph...when she was older..🤔

Two facts missed from this are : The Shadows composed "The Stars Fell On Stockton" while playing at The Globe & Stockton once had a Castle which was where The Swallow Hotel used to be - oh & an extra fact - The night The Beatles played here over in America President Kennedy was assasinated

Lovely video of the past , what a lovely town we used to have , now we have a dump of a city 😢

Live in havlock st in the east end was sad to see it go. till i got in a warm house and a hot bath .its was great to have family close, but things move on. Still it was great to be a kid they in the 60s and 70s. Playing in old houses and doing demo on them.the only thing mam did not like was us on the quayside.

Got me lump of coal that me Dad got me from the Pit at Seghill. I cannot first foot because I've got ginger hair and being a woman as well it's unlucky for me to be a forst foot. 🥃

Clootie dumpling

My mother always made first footing.😊

Bonfire nights in the 80s was like a battle going on in the background

I remember turnip lanterns when i was a kid. The first time we had a pumpkin was 1994

If it was viking u mean pagan and I would have been meed not Wiskey

As a short, fair haired chap descended from Vikings I object to the discrimination.😁

Nobody seems to do it now 😔 in Sunderland

Thank you for this really interesting look at a neglected aspect of social history. My partner's granda from Jarrow used to call bread wirh jam and cheese 'Poor Man's Spice'.

Expensive

Being Jesmond I imagine it’s a bit more pricey than other charity shops.

I have grown to like the old school Christmas jumpers in recent years. Modern ones are nice, but you can’t beat the originals. Sometimes a simple design can stand out from the rest. Hope you had a great Christmas

Great video! I didn't know about the living 'rules' for inside the hospital. I just recently found out I'm related to Jane Jameson so I'm finding out more and more about the history of it all!

Great to see you doing face on to the camera - usually you narrate a voice-over. So that was nice! Thanks. 'I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.'

The jumper looks like it's made your Christmas judging by your smile. 🎄😁 The unicycle is a penny Farthing. They'd just gone out of style when I was 5yo. 🤣 5'11"? Gosh. You'd tower over me.😲 I'm only 5'6" and a bit. I'd have problems getting on a Halfpenny Farthing. 🤣

I wish I'd known earlier that they were selling these as I would have got one to send to my Sister in Law . I share your videos with her which she loves . Merry Christmas ⛄🎁🎄🎅🏻

Love your Beamish Christmas jumper, great detail 😊 xx

Where in Jesmond is the charity shop

This has to be the most expensive charity shop in the north east (probably the location) I see this sort of stuff all the time for a fraction of the price in other charity shops In Gateshead. For example that royal cup £20 unbelievable I can buy them for £2 each, even eBay sold prices are cheaper then this shop

I don't think I'd like to live in a place that used to be a court. I have visions of waking up from a nightmare shouting 'I'm innocent!' 😁😁
