They always go on about Jimmy's 'save'. In actual fact it was a world class DOUBLE SAVE.

A few years ago I searched for Mary Ann cotton's execution,it seems to have disappeared but the statement said her gallows drop was 6" ,, you can picture the struggles, she must have been truly hated obviously Evil

I loved going to Harvey's qfter Annabels. I remember The Lotus Garden Chinese, too. My mam said it was the first one in Sunderland. She used to go in with her friend and both of them had their babies with them. Later, she took us to The Melting Pot next to Sgt Peppers. I can still taste the mulligatawny soup and chicken biryani. Happy days!

I remember the Saturday matinee at the ABC and eating willicks with a pin. My dad used to tell me all of the things he could buy with sixpence - a comic, sweets, pictures etc. My nana loved going to bingo at the Cora in the 70s and early 80s.

Wow, what a history Sunderland has. Just brilliant! I'm nearly 60 and trained as a nurse at Sunderland General Hospital and Ryhope General Hospital. My dad, Gordon Hedley, started mining engineering at Wearmouth Colliery but went off to do his national service for 5 years with the RAF. He returned with my mam and went on to be a manager at JAJ/ Pyrex/ Corning. His father and grandfather had worked in the colliery too, and they lived close by. His other grandfather was a merchant seaman (like his father and grandfather before him) and lived in North Dock Cottage in Roker when older. One of my earliest memories is celebrating the 1973 FA cup win and going to Notriannis for a Knickerbocker Glory with my nana from Lichfield Rd Southwick. Happy days :)

Old 29 on Saturdays Continental during the week Blandford on Friday before the Mayfair :)

They’ve got cheesy chips and panda pop for a quid Sunderland’s a massive club 😂

You need to get to the grindon club before 3rd Feb as that’s another one lost 😢

I spent 2 miserable years at Redby Boys School 1972-1974 and joined the army at the Sunderland recruiting office during a school lunch break ,left school, and worked at Laws supermarket Fulwell on the deli and then as a share fisherman drift netting for Salmon got to my 17th birthday joined RGJ Peninsular Barracks Winchester never been back to Sunderland maybe will 1 day.

The bad old days. Crime rocketing, de-industrialisation continuing as planned. Spotted some of the long gone shops...but in honesty weve turned a corner and the recent redevelopment of Sunderland with new bridges, commercial buildings et al is to be welcomed. Dont live in the past.

You are a lucky man the police never charged you otherwise they would have 'made' the evidence fit you!

Sutcliffe could have been caught earlier if the SIO had listened to a junior CID officer using a £5 note and his coppers instict.

Fond memories of Jackie Whites about 30 years ago , when my daughter was a youngun,after our Saturday shopping , we would buy a cake from the cake shop there , which they put into a box, tied up with ribbon,she said she was like Doris Day carrying a parcel in a film . Happy days

Beautiful place. Rest in peace Sid x

Nancy, the series was the best series of books I have ever read,get it made into tv series downton wouldnt be a patch

Too many pies

No trophy room, no need for one, the only cups they have are in the canteen.😂😂😂😂

My passion is cinema. I make films and love going to see films. My first job leaving school was Trainee Projectionist at the ABC 1 and 2 which is now The Point on the corner of Holmeside seen in this video. At home I had a Super 8 but I ran the 35 mill projectors in the cinema. I loved the job and got paid to for doing it. Happy days. I'm enjoying going to the new Omniplex multiplex which used to be the Empire Cinema next to the bowling alley.

Another great video. Anywhere in the North East I am fascinated by . I'm proud of where I live. I go to Sunderland, Newcastle, Durham, South Shields a lot. I was born in South Shields so love going there and just walking along the beach and paddling in the sea wearing my speedos swimbriefs.

This video is fascinating. I'm not a drinker so I've never been in. I love local history so I'm very interested in videos like this. The pub is beautiful. I pass it a lot if I'm going to the Theatre or heading for The Bridges shopping centre.

I love The Empire Theatre Sunderland. I've seen loads of musicals there over the years. I've been going for years now. I was given a guided tour of the Theatre. We were shown every part of the Theatre and were able to get on the stage to get a feel what it's like for a performer to look at the stalls. I always buy a ticket for the stalls. This lady was our tour guide. She showed us a book that was available about the history of the Theatre. It is a fascinating read. Recently I saw a you tube video of Bobby Thompson performing on stage at the Empire Theatre. This video is a brilliant watch.

Deservedly beat all the tol sides by playing bettef football than them

Work in one for 24 years love it but it sometimes a. Victorian. Nightmare 😔🙈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I remember the Star , notices inside in Norwegian , had a great aunt living in Reynolndson St , nobody ever seems to mention the Caxton next door to the Picture House, Pollys across the road from the Caledonia , pollys proper name the Theatre Tavern, in Bedford St was the Garricks Head, opposite the Argo was , I believe ,the Turf , then turn left to Bridge St on the corner the Bells . Exhibition was 1 & 6 pence upstairs on the Paark Inn in the late 50s prior to heading into yhe Rink . Happy daze , or dazed after yhe Ex .

Shows you He’s been locked up all these years And dies of covid

2005-2010. We would start at varsity, tonic, the point, glasspider, blu bambu, pure, Luma, and I forgot the name but now its called gatsby etc

its been a labour constituancy forever what do you expect?then again the narator looks simple

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
