A Tribute to Sunderland Civic Centre

[@tjidk1]

I pass it every day from school, it’s quite sad to see it demolished. But the car park is very creepy and derelict.

[@gpo746]

I grew up round the corner from there and it was falling to bits in the 80's . Always creepy and seemed deserted even during the weekdays barring ever appearing soggy confetti from weddings . Loved the little bridge over to Mowbray though, even thats gone .

Famously the architect walked into one of his hexagonal floor to ceiling windows on it's opening day. It looked quite something for it's first decade or 2 but bits started to fall off and the underground car park was dark, dingy, wet, and a far too low ceiling.

Like Kingsgate Dunelm Bridge in Durham. Now needs a good clean although fantastic architecture when I was there early 1970's.

Fantastic building, very glad it's been saved

Great narration but would be even better with a big deep booming voice.

[@taylora5224]

So sad to see this go. I love mid century architecture, the new building is just boring.

[@neilscott910]

I am glad it has gone, a 50 year old obsolete building. City Hall is newer and better.

[@CEBRU07]

We were told the flats were full of sea salt and would never last...

[@colinbrown7310]

It was an awful building and in my view the awards were a con trick. I walked through it every day in the 70s and it was a dead, litter strewn place. The new city hall makes a far better statement and the new housing on the old site looks great.
