At 13:13, they have turned off onto Douro Terrace towards Ryhope Rd with the Church at the junction of Mowbray Rd. I lived there in The Cloisters from Summer '85-7 and it is largely unchanged, thank goodness. The old architecture in town was grimy and run down. The modern glass and steel is simply hideous.
I lived a stones throw away on Lorne Terrace in the 80's The church at 13:13 was Park Lane Methodist church. I know as my Grandparents went there and I was hauled along as a kid . Even went to cubs there .. Grew up all around Mowbray park , Civic center and when uncles took the dogs walking we would go to Backhouse park . GREAT childhood .
Born in 1966 lived in Laura St Hendon. Then pilgrim st southwick, then moved to mill hill 1975. Left Sunderland in 89 moved back 2000 a nd left again a
You're joking mate. Remember all them people who were unemployed? The 80s were f'ing horrible. You're confusing being young with being living in a good era.
Mark just the two as these were found in a skip in sunderland by a gentleman I wish he'd got the lot as he mentioned that at the time quite a few were lying in the skip at the time.
Fabulous. Thanks
Roads much quieter. I can remember it like this like yesterday.

I have seen these on TH-cam a few years back, there were more. Wonder who uploaded them originally?
Back when university was for intelligent people
And voters didn't elect idiots like tory Boris Johnson! Or vote to leave the EU!
The jealousy hasn't changed one bit though, it seems
You didn’t go then.
I’m sure you know which year it is, but it’s definitely post 1986 as my house is built 😊

Great stuff. I've only just moved to here in the past couple of months, but around the time of the video I was working on the refurb at the Ropery
there are no trees on the bottom of my street and there is a pub right on the bottom too
I live near that bridge in pallion and it looked boring back then lol
Fellas ice cream depot and cowies
