Lived in Sunderland 2005-2009, then moved back down south - was awesome :)
It’s a good city and on the up again.
Ahhh nostalgic. When I was living there I missed India. And now that am here I miss that good ol town.
Thanks for the video, excellent! But I have to say, from my point of view, having left the town (then a town, now a city) in March 1975 for pastures new, almost nothing is today recognisable! Many road names are of course familiar, but looking at the place some 47 years on, one realises that one knows and unconsciously navigates a place by familiar landmarks, buildings and their familiar facades, even familiar shop fronts etc! So many changes have taken place in this regard that most scenes appear unfamiliar to me now! Looking along the river, whilst it looks quite pleasant for riverside walks etc., when I was a boy, I recall it being packed with ships, moored 3 deep, loading and unloading cargo on the northern bank, whilst the south bank was also very busy but with ships undergoing light maintenance work, replenishment of stores etc. The south bank was a hive of activity with numerous small and larger workshops, supply businesses etc. It appeared to me as a chaotic scene but I guess it all brought in revenue!
Whilst the riverside towards the piers looks very clean, pretty and orderly these days, all of that past activity was the lifeblood of a thriving town and back then the shipyards were still going strong. I used to drive past busy shipyards along the river heading for Pallion in the very early morning to work in my father's bakery on the corner of Westmoor Road and Tanfield Street, now a dwelling I believe. Sunderland's past 50 years or so is economically a melancholy tale I think, but I do hope the future holds better times for the city!
Hi Stewart, thanks for the excellent commentary. I fully agree that the city will have changed dramatically. As a visitor rather than a resident I don’t have your knowledge of the history involved. What I have tried to do in this film is capture a snapshot in time, which is already history. I can say that the landscape is evolving rapidly in the centre, urban redesign unveiling new roads, buildings, parks, community spaces and importantly going forward - hotels. I would say that Sunderland is definitely on the up. Regards!
same here, left in 1982 and never looked back
Really good video (I was born and brought up in Sunderland). I was pleased but surprised that that you were not arrested for being out and about during lockdown. Best wishes, and thanks again.
This was just after lockdown when the hotels could reopen so I was fine. If stopped though I have immunity as a certified journalist gathering footage during a time of crisis, I always carry my press pass for just such occurences. :)
Your videos never disappoint! I really like your style of shooting with your camera stationed in one place. Love this one just like all the previous ones.
Thanks so much for the comment, really appreciated.
Great to watch, sad to see what the town has become. Not been back in 25 years, no plans to go back now.
Thanks Norman, the the town seems to be on the up in terms of regeneration. I guess it’s a long job though.
There’s nothing sad about it. It’s a fantastic city.
It looks nice.
I was born in Sunderland many years ago. So sad to that it appears to be still in lockdown.
id like to live there.....greetings from Vancouver BC !
you really, REALLY wouldnt. trust me. i have lived here all me life and its just getting worse and worse!
Sr5 on top
@@jaack8984 worse in what way? The city has never been this clean and if you say the shop have shut etc blame the internet, every town/city/village in the world has changed because of the internet and online deliveries.
It’s not the same town any more so disappointing
I am moving there mid June and I think I’m going to be very happy there
My home town.
Thank you for this. I was a Community Work student in Sunderland in 1994. I really loved the place and its people. Sunderland deserves better. It needs investment both private and public but in covid wracked Britain where is this going to come from?
The city is definitely on the up, there are new developments in place and future ones happening. There are still a lot of dead streets though, I think it will be a marathon rather than a sprint.
A lot of regeneration is going on. Kickstarted by the government. Regeneration is happening in lots of other places too.
I spent 2 miserable years at Redby Boys school in the early 1970s Sunderland was a bleak miserable dump then and after watching your video i can see nothing has changed .
I think it looks nice.
What a load of crap, the bloody 70's ? Your off your head.
2 months before i moved here!
...and what's your verdict of the place? I felt like it had turned a corner and was up and coming again when I visited there. Will deffo go back.
Good video 📸😊
Thanks!
Awesome.
If you are an explorer and have no knowledge about the beauty of my country that is Pakistan. Then you should collect the information about it. It'll amazed you.
Sad place really lacklustre comes to mind ....shame ..where time time stands still !
It’s a sad town unfortunately
Regneration is going on though.
It looks nice on here.
ghost town
It looks nice.
Very similar to Portsmouth, dead and depressing city.
It looks nice.
everything is to let. Sad decline.
What was the point of the video showing a miserable looking Foggy Sunderland? Next time if you do a video at least show one where there are people enjoying life at the Beach, like surfing or just enjoying the places in Sunderland. A video like this doesn`t encourage people to visit Sunderland.
Hi Brian, you have missed the point to my film. I’m not and never ever make tourist films promoting places. I explore and I film what I see. One day it was foggy, the next it was sunny and it’s all in there, including Roker Beach in the sunshine with people enjoying themselves. My filmmaking is about what I experienced in the limited time that I was there whilst aimlessly wandering around. Some may say it’s art, some may say it’s fart, but we’re all different and see things in our own way. Cheers.
Crap. No commentary.
Boo hoo.
@@stuartmoss No wonder your channel is going nowhere with that attitude.
@@mariemccann5895 granted, giving constructive feedback is very helpful to people, outright calling it "crap" is not the best way to go about it. A lot of people aren't a big fan of commentary. Get over it. That isn't the point of this video. There's absolutely no reason to make snarky remarks about how their channel is doing either. This person is doing what they enjoy and really shouldn't be ridiculed like that. Not a fan? Don't watch. Simple
@@epsicron9209 Typical woke reply from someone who can't take criticism. Stick to the facts, look at the stats. I rest my case.
@@mariemccann5895 it isn't criticism, is it though? you outright said it was crap without giving any thought to the content you're watching, and what facts and stats are there to look at?
looks miserable ?
Some commentary would be helpful.
Hello Geffel, sorry I don’t do those types of films, I take a random wander and combine it with what I see and hear, a bit ASMR style.
