Gosh! My grandad is buried there. As a child during the war, I used to go for walks there and just before D DAY there was an American army camp beside it where I had my first packet of American sweets! The US soldiers never wanted for anything and were always generous. There were always lots of young ladies outside the camp! A walk there usualy include a visit to backhouse park to see the barrage balloons.I am 84 but the memories of my childhood at Sunderland are very vivid. We used to live in Hastings street.
Hi Walter ? thanks for watching and posting that comment. That's great memories and history. If you are on Facebook those memories would be great in the group Sunderland History as well.
