The Townhall was the best building in the town. To demolish it was criminal!
I suspect that most of the older people in this film would have bemoaned the supposed decline of the city since they were young. And that goes on... so that the best times were perhaps when we were still living in the oceans?
Absolutely heartbreaking our town decimated destroyed, a bomb couldn't make much more damage ,,you think plans were made in 1970+ to destroy whole city centre and build houses on the land,and corner by corner they encroaching on city centre, its absolutely sad tearful
fantastic
Ian Porterfield! Why man, nobody like him.
Who recorded the music very stirring.👍👍👍👍🦘
I’m watching this and I could cry. Seeing the way our once successful thriving city. Or town. As it once was is now. All the businesses Mines. Shipyards. Brewery. Clothing Foundries. Rope works. Galvanisers and so many large department stores Too many to name. All gone. We could see a doctor or dentist whenever we needed to. We had the choice of many cinemas to choose from and two public swimming baths that cost pennies to use. I wish young ones could see what a brilliant place Sunderland was once to live in. We knew all our neighbours and most people on our estate. Now you hardly know who lives next door to you.
Excellent video 🙂 I always remember my most beautiful 5 years there (1982-87) as a Civil Engineering student at the Poly. What is the title of the background music please? Thank you!!!
The smell from Vaux is something I will never forget. The horses were magnificent though I was always wary of them. All the industries gone forever. So sad. The sculpture is wonderful Even better the fact it was actually made in Sunderland by an extremely talented man. 👍👏👏
Loved the video and the story behind it. My granda worked there for many years and used to bring his pop allowance home for us kids to enjoy! :) The only thing that bugged me was at 19.38 minutes, the subtitler used "affect" instead of "effect".
Born and Bred Mackem and proud this is God's Country
Where have all the people gone 😢
Shame it's gone....
Remember vaux as a bairn. Awesome sculpture and what a talented man. Hats off 👏🙌
Sunderland. The town that once was........
Before my time some of it. What a time it must have been to be alive. When sunderland was awesome. Place is ruined now 💯
I have a distinct memory of visiting Vaux on a school trip back in the early 1970s. Walking around the stable area I remember seeing one of the horses names was Silver. It’s one of those memories that has stuck with me. So to see the drayman who looked after him was nice. Also like the mayor said, the smell of the new brew was unmistakable. I have so many great memories of growing up in Sunderland and wouldn’t have swapped them for anything. I moved away in 1984 when I joined the army and have never returned to live, but Sunderland is always my home.
The basic problem Sunderland has is that it's lost its reason to exist. Like so many other cities in the UK.
I’ve got a photo of my mam, Emily Browell, dishing out the milk on the back of a horse drawn trap in our village, South Hylton.
Its basically an African colony now, not to mention the hordes of mentally challenged zombies wandering around. I remember when places like sunderland were civilised, homogeneous, industrious, proud communities...everything scum politicians hate.
I jumped into Sunderland Airshow back in 1992 with the Red Devils, great times
A real life Alan Partridge...
Our city that once had everything, now basically a wasteland. No shops, no seaside fair and no industry to provide local wealth/pride. Live just 20 mile away and have been back once in 15 years. Keeping the memories.
Great video ruined by the truly lousy background racket. A pity.
The sculpture is marvelous.
I remember well as a teenager in the mid 1960s, the powerful horses and drays around town, doing regular deliveries to Vaux customers. The sculpture is a wonderful reminder of that. Let us hope also that the redevelopment of Sunderland brings with it, not just pleasant spaces and amenities, but actual prosperity in the form of employment and economic growth to the place where I grew up!
Back in the day when Sunderland was a thriving city 😢
many generations of my family were born in Sunderland. I moved away in order to move forward. sad to see all the unused and shoddy buildings.
Fantastic.
Dad worked there in the 60s
Does anyone know where this is filmed at at 1:17
Harwar the lads :)
Love it from a Luton girl 😊
dreadful annoying background repitive noise, pounding drums horrible
*GHASTLY!* Who the fvck is the sadist, manoeuvring the matrix, responsible for permitting the existence of such an unassailable shithole throughout the 20th century and into present day?! Anyone who isn't a complete demon-horned sadist would've pulled the plug of this utter, utter shithole and zit on the face of the earth via a fvcking nuke by now.
Hard working town! Grafters man ❤

How has this guy not fucking aged?
He’s wacky, he’s fun, he’s crazy, he’s outrageous! The Patman knows how to mix decks.

An amazing artwork which perfectly evokes my childhood. Ray: you’re a genius.
My thoughts and prayers are with all Bosnians today. Especially Muslim brothers and sisters. If there is anything I can do to raise awareness of the genocide locally, I would be more than happy to help out. Best wishes from Stanley County Durham.
