I used to live in Silksworth til I upgraded to East Herrington and now I only visit to sneer out of my car window or on my infrequent trips to the sunbed shop on the main street. Canny fella the lad who owns that like.

It's not a bad place but they don't really like outsiders.

Thats because there are very few degrees of separation between the locals.

I live very close to the legion and it's ok. Local culinary highlights include Signatures, Devito's and the Midas Touch.

There's less chavs than most other areas of Sunderland these days but lots of day time drinkers and sicknotes.
 
I went to watch Silky cw play in the wearside league a couple of weeks ago. Very pleasant it was too. In fact I enjoyed it more than that crap yesterday :lol:

It's a great area full of lovely people. They might f***ing eat you though.

I lived in Vicarage road for 10 years, played for Silksworth Sportsmans arms for 20 years in the Sunda5league and Silksworth for a year in the Wearside league, the lads who live there are all canny except a few who thought they knew better than the It at twins, my next door neighbour but 1 was Jarvy Forth, he used to sort them out though, had lots of beers with the lad, thin, but quick as lightning and hard, and I mean hard. He was always fair and never looked for trouble.

Davy Mason runs the Golden Fleece, great lad, his Mrs Marcy a great lass,

I lived in Vicarage Road.
 
There's one little hamlet behind the main street; no through road, that's as bad as Cairo Street Hendon in the 1990s

Squalid

Mam and dad lived in Silky all of their married lives (55 years or so) and its canny.

Decent people, no more dodge pots than your average NE ex pit village; and maybe less than some to be fair.

Local pubs and clubs generally ok, though clubs maybe a bit cliquey in a "who's he....never seen him in here before" sort of a way.

Worst area was always Newport estate when I was a youngan, but much improved now that Gentoo have kicked most of the idiots out.
 
Run down hovel. Get yourself in the fleece for half an hour to see the locals

A couple of my mates still live there
 
Me fatha lives in Vicarage Road and the Legion is his club of choice (particularly after the Buffs shut). I like it in there, it's pretty much the same faces every time I go down to visit.
