God it’s like the bridge thread circa 1971
@Boris Bear’s first decision after becoming a councillor. He’s came on in leaps and bounds since then.

My memory is hazy. Have we ever had a tory council ?Cheap, self-serving, backwards thinking, numpty council!
IIRC it was a Tory council that pulled it down to build a make believe hotel...
Sad times!

they were just "old buildings" back then , no one gave a shit about historical interest. there was loads of great old buildings up beside the fire station , and down the east end , no one gave a fuck when they got demolished either . it was called "progress",but with hindsight ,yeah , it should have been kept . thing is , there still is loads of great old buildings in sunderland ,the old orphanage, stuff down high street etc. no one gives a fuck about them now .
