The country is ruined...most town,s a d city,s in uk are like this..dead.

Astonishing to actually see how busy and exciting the town and laygate used to be. It’s heart breaking to walk through the deserted streets now and see the old building being slowly demolished. My time was the early 80’s. Jump on the 30 bus from Cleadon and head down through the nook and Harton, get off at the bus station opposite Goughs and then nip into carricks for a sausage roll. Walking down King street took ages, you were constantly bumping into people you knew and chatting. Shopping on your phone and having it delivered is convenient these days, but I’d swap a Saturday morning down street with my mates in the 80’s in a heartbeat. ❤

Excellent. Would love to see more of this.

Remember Allen's going there with me mam think you paid in tokens you went upstairs and change your money something like that

Excellent video, thank you for posting.

I remember these busy days and remember driving along King Street; a few year after this was shot but still remember the town centre being so busy when I was a boy at school.

I have watched this video many times and i am amazed with the amount of people in King Street. and its never as busy these days. another interesting point is the lack of white lines on the roads. i did notice a pelican crossing. other crossings where was just studs in the middle of road. i would like permission to borrow this clip if you don't mind for a video that i would like to put regarding white lines on the roads. or the lack of as a demonstration. I have built south shields station as it was in the 1940s. so this may be of interest for you. many thanks for sharing this old footage. best wishes Tony

department store not departmental store

It looks so much better back then.

Unbelievable how packed it was to now 😳

Awesome tribute!🇬🇧

Once I was a Christian Soldier without " Black Rifle Coffee Dog Gone IT!!! "

catchy song but an odd choice for this pagan yule video. The song is about the virgin birth, god and the christ child. It's hard to find winter carols that don't have any christian references, I'm still looking.

Shields had so much character and great shops back then. Compared to now, Shields is a ghost town. That’s what happens when you close every road to transport and cars. High rents will also be another factor and lack of investment within the town centre. Which all gets thrown at the coast, which should probably be dishes out evenly.

Dressed in their finest. Lest we forget

By rhe gods hahaha i just wanted to jump up and dance hahaha

Só faltou uma legenda

Great music

Lugdunum is correct name

The town is now a pale shadow of its former self. So sad 😟

Sorry your wrong there was trains to Newcastle

There was a railway to Newcastle. The station was just further up Mile end road on the left !

I was a volunteer at Arbeia in 2000 through the Earthwatch organization. It's great to see how far the site has come. I hope to make a trip back to see it some day.

Bravo Monteverdi

Truly touching, thank you. Lemmy & co were far more than hard rock - it would not surprise me if '1916' becomes a folk song standard in years to come, as the June Tabor version of 'Waltzing Matilda' has.

Not many Motorhead songs make me cry, this is one of them . Lest We Forget!!!

La parte compresa tra il minuto 9.51 e 12 è davvero celestiale😍

Excelente representación de una obra cumbre de la cultura occidental

As i was watching a documentary special recently on the 100th anniversary of the battle of The Somme, this sprang to mind the entire time as i watched. Love this song.

qu`est-ce que c`est la musique qui vient avant du Magnificat

Lovely video thanks for uploading. Found the narrators voice soothing too lol

An amazing video. The buses and cars, the masses of people, the bikes and prams, and the clothes. A great piece of Social History.

Exquisite performance of this outstanding piece.

An outstanding performance of a fascinating piece of music, written 75 years before Bach was born.

Thanks for posting this video. It is very moving, because I was once a soldier too.

Used to drink in the Golden Lion just of King Street as well as the Cri and Ship and Royal great memories
