These films came from students from Sunderland University who had done street surveys in Sunderland and were discarded in a skip their was more the lad only rescued two at the time what a shame others would have been intresting to view....I have both posted on my UA-cam channel.
When you think about it it's not even that long ago. In some places big changes and in others no changes at all. Typical old camcorder footage. Really interesting.
@@michaelloughlin734 I certainly did. It's scary to think how long ago it was. I stayed in the North East for nearly 15 years. Very different times then. Miners strike. Shipyards closing. Marsden Grotto collapsing.
I remember these days, and seeing the old shops, it reminded me of a joke, please bear in mind i was only a kid in the 80's, i was born 1974 oh where did you buy that? Binns ahhhhh, you're a bin raker
@@leeanderson5025 To be fair you do have a point. I was brought up a few miles down the road at South Shields and Sunderland was always a dump while I was growing up. Only went there for the football and the odd panto.
The fact that Sunderland Council cancelled the 2023 Airshow because of their Net zero ambitions tell you all you need to know about the idiots in charge.
Net zero but they're tearing up the Gill where loads off animals live and cutting down hundreds off trees to build a new foot bridge over the river wear.
Unfortunately the local council hasn’t did anything to improve the now City 🙈 still a run down Labour city. It’s a lot worse now than it was after the War.

Sunderland Polytechnic.
Opens turning left onto Toward Rd from Park Road. The shop is still there, but now a hair salon!

Amazing to see this. I was at the Poly from '84-'87.
Lived at Park Place West, Esplenade West, St. Bede's Terrace, Brandling Street (Roker).
Mrinal that's great to hear glad you enjoyed it.

Arthur t its been cancelled all together.its not zero ambitions.its health&safety first
If you live at Roker or Seaburn the Air Show was a yearly pain in the backside. And I am not a Net Zero fan.

Looks just the same! just dirtier now.
