The council and government should watch your videos and see what an absolute state this country is in!

London born and bred for 32 years, moved up to my family/spiritual home Roker Sunderland 20 years ago.
I wouldn’t move back to London if you paid me.
Everywhere in the country has it’s run down areas such as Hendon, but on the whole this beautiful coastal city has a LOT to offer.
The people, the coastline, etc.
If i’d have known you were up mate i’d have been more than happy to show you around some of our better locations.
Theres a masaive amount of regeneration going on along the riverside as well as along the coast, things are definitely changing for the better.
Great vid as always mate, safe travels. 🇵🇪

Sunderland. Another place that's had its heart ripped out. 😒

I lived in Sunderland, mind you not Hendon, for 10 years after moving up from deep down south. While it can be rough around the edges, I never truly understood the meaning of community until I moved there. I am not White British, but if you show respect and kindness, there is nowhere safer on the planet. The people there should be proud, many of them do not realise just how good they have it.

Full of smackheads then his burner phone rings 😂😂

Fletchers shop sign used to say "don't fund terrorism shop at Fletchers" I'm not joking

Less than one percent of the households destroy the whole area, and the authorities do NOTHING!

my take on the people up there , they are very genuine people

As a Yorkshire man I have met many people  from the North  East, they were always friendly even if they are a hard bunch.

The people of Sunderland seem very friendly.

It’s lovely to be able to see where the council tax goes 👀

The guy you met that was on his bike and was put into care at a nunnery was such a lovely  guy

it is odd the government wants to build over a million houses when every city and town is full of these areas,why consider green belt land when we have thousands of acres of slums and derelict areas.

hendon went downhill fast when private landlords bought out those cottages

The 2 ladies summed it up… used to be a lovely area years ago. Sounds so familiar these days as the years pass

I remember the old broken glass on the walls as a youth!

Politicians should be forced to live here.

Hendon was one of those areas that was not only neglected, but was where a large number of criminals were housed, which just makes things worse. Pennywell used to be the same, but the most the criminals got moved on, they pulled most of it down and rebuilt, now it's unrecognisable from 20 years ago, and it's similar to what Hendon needs

Imagine your ring camera goes off and it’s just billy walking past 😂

I fell in Love with a Girl from Sunderland. I was to young and shy to say anything to her. But still think of her now and then. God Bless Sunderland.❤
