I love those old photographs!

 

Not

All in long coats. Dapper.

 

Looks how clean the street is.

Not like nowadays

 

Aye but its understandable,photo must have been taken in August that year

 

If you're on Facebook look up Sunderland Antiquarian society (or something like that) for git loads of old Sunderland pictures like the funfair at seaburn (with the railway and boating pond), the cat and dog steps and all areas around here. So nostalgic.

 

I'm not on Facebook mate. I don't trust all those social media's.

But my wife is. I'll ask her to check them out. Cheers mate!

 

This painting is in the museum although they often don't display it.
Mackies corner.

 

Topper that fella.

 

Full moon.

Bet there was some strange goings on, up on Tyneside middle earth.

 

My ex wife has a print of a painting hanging in her living room.
It's called I Town Tonight & shows a tram scene.
I'm sure it's Sunderland.

 

Shop at Binns... The scousers still get all their gear from there.

 

Used to bank at Lloyds, and often stood in the queue next to Old Turvey a real gent. and the first man to drive a motor car in Sunderland I am told.

 

Fulwell rd rail crossing?

 

Vaux site isn't actually that big.

 

You have got it mostly right, you must remember between the North End of the station and Fawcett street you had Station St so this photo was taken outside Burton The Tailors , the sweet shop was Maynards famous for their wine gums , past the Grand hotel was the Echo office and then the road down to the river and the Echo office loading dock where the papers were loaded into the vans
