Was just thinking the same. Read the report posted yet still people stating completely different ‘facts’Typical Chinese whispers,wasn't a 30;year old at all. the echo is reporting it was a 23 year old man was stabbed and a 35 year old women was arrested
They were beautiful and all bought and lived in by the home owner but now I think nearly all are let out by private landlords such a shame.Them flats were classed as canny posh when they were built iirc.
Aye, they all pop up on the cheapest place to rent/buy in Sunderland now.They were beautiful and all bought and lived in by the home owner but now I think nearly all are let out by private landlords such a shame.
I remember the shops been like that on both sides there was 12 shops in total. They were demolished and the new single storey block was built, the original butcher and ironmonger went into the new shops. We also played in the fields and the fair used to come once a year on the fields over the back of redhouse.Strange looking at the shops nearby now. Saw on the Chronicle article there's only one side has shops? When I were a lad there were two lots facing each other. They had flats on top with the access up a staircase on the outside. Some of the lads from school used to go up there and jump off the roof into cardboard boxes that had been put in one of them huge metal bins. Until my mate broke his wrist.
Also remember the Dome there cos I lived on one of the houses backing onto Kingsclere road further up. We'd go climbing on Bunny Hill and up to where Downhill footy hub is now when it was fields of rape seed. I was younger then than the bairn is now and he never leaves the house without me or his mam.
I would never say things were better then cos I remember bullying being rife round there and we grew up with very little, but in terms of the world being open for kids to adventure, that's all been lost.
