This is just one example of the videos now available on a new YouTube channel which has just been launched by Sunderland Antiquarian Society.
Each of them takes a fond look back at Wearside as it used to look and two fresh films are being added each week.
Society secretary Philip Curtis urged people to take a look and said: “From ship building heritage and hidden heritage photos to old Sunderland videos and local heritage video presentations, every film is a journey into how we used to work, rest, play and live in our city.
“Popular videos with our subscribers are of shipyards, glass making, the coal mines and virtual Sunderland City Tours covering the history of Sunderland and its proud industries, people, and traditions. We create videos from our large collection of photograph and film archives.”
“We welcome everyone to join us by subscribing to our YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/@SunderlandAntiquarianSociety which is free, and by joining we can inform you every time a new video is added.
