Seaburn Roker - different breed

[muggboots]

Roker Park Terrace has to be the nicest street in Sunderland like. All the ones that front onto the park are nice, but I'm getting to the stage where I need to think about downsizing now. Kids disappearing to different parts of the country and I doubt they'll be back.

Wrong. It's lovely but West Lawn is better.

Play it on the beach when the tide is out.

The north of the river is the Sunder land but it seems to have been hijacked by the rest of the locality.

The name 'Sunderland' comes from the Holy Trinity area of the East End where the first docks and fish quay were. The wider area took the name once the docks became more economically important.
Parishes away from industry would have kept their own identy. It's all a class thing, obviously.

So your taking his word for it?
There's one lives next door to you.

Don't care whether you believe me or not but I knew where the dealers were and while I could afford some of the nice streets some houses on them were share houses or converted to flats and I knew who lived in them. Not a street I wanted to have kids in. I couldn't afford west lawn unfortunately.

I’ve actually found a list of bail hostels in the U.K. and there’s only one in Sunderland. It’s on Hylton Road.
