Thank you for the pics Wasnt Sunderland a beautiful town , when it was doing what it was built for , industry and manufacturing! , I remember the 70's ,i was a teenager , and loved the town ,
I am now living in Nottingham but loved your photos, especially of the ferry at South Hylton (where I came from) and the change of the images from black and white to colour did bring the photos to life. Many, many thanks.
Deja vu all over again! I still think of Sunderland as my home town, even though I left it and England in 1975 for South Africa. It was a grand little town before that but it seems to me it's star has waned dramatically in more recent times!
Great set of pics, I didn't recognise a lot of the streets, how the town has changed! I will watch it again but this time with the sound off. Thanks for posting.
Where is the level crossing at 06.00 ? Edit* Did some quick detective work and it is Caroline Street in Hetton-Le-Hole. The shop on the right is now the " £ Discount Store £ ". The pub ahead is now a butchers.
Thank you for the pics

Good stuff but dates and locations would.ve been nice , struggled to recognise a lot of those places . Minor gripe .
Also a modern-day photo of the same location would be good to see how the area has changed
What is the song
Gold Forever by The Wanted. I think it’s an instrumental version.
