...it's people and everything associated with Sunderland, past and present, personal and general that make you proud of being Sunderland at heart.

Our coastline, Tunstall hill and River wear.

My dad made it well known he loved this town/city.
My Grangetown roots and knocking about Hendon in my childhood.
The shipyards, pit's, Vaux beer industry.

Full off down to earth people and very unique in our humour.
Barrys chippy in Grangetown made the best tasting chips and batter EVER!!, except for the one in Thorney close green which shut over twenty years ago
Our local history and everything about it. The characters, way things were, family roots and ties, etc.

Some of it is, but not all

And it was a beautiful city centre in the past, with Binnis and the like, I'm proud of that.
