Virtual Heritage Tours from Old Photo Collections brings together a rich local history presentation drawn from hidden heritage photos and treasured old photo collections. This video is a journey through historic Sunderland, exploring local heritage, lost industries and life along the River Wear in a true walk down memory lane.

Created in the spirit of a heritage information hub and local heritage centre, this local history presentation asks what is our heritage and celebrates local history and heritage through careful local historical research.

Step inside glass making in 1947, stand beside the Blacksmith at work in 1955 and witness Blacksmiths and Strikers at Pickersgill Shipyard in 1914.

These hidden heritage photos from old photo collections reveal lost industries at Bartram shipyard in South Hylton, British Ropes Roker Ave, Deptford Industry Sunderland 1950, Copperas Works South Hylton with Ferry Farm above 1877, and Edison Swan radio valves factory in Hendon 1949.

Along the River Wear we see Submarine U776 in River Wear 1945, the launch of British Princess in 1946, Ship Regfos aground at Whitburn 1947, and the Bronze Fountain outside Laing shipyard in Deptford.

This local history presentation also captures everyday local heritage. West Park swings busy in 1952, Burn Park April 1948, Snow Scene Tunstall Village 1947, Snowed in near Souter Point March 1947, Crowds on Beach Whit Mon 1955 and Seaburn Vista 1948 all form part of a walk down memory lane.

The Elephant at Seaburn 1949, Circus Elephants June 1950 and Jazz Band Houghton Starliners 1977 bring colour and character to historic Sunderland.
Sporting history shines through Sunderland AFC 1949, Training for Preston Cup Tie 1950s, Ashbrooke Ground for Australian Match 1948 and Wearmouth Bridge Football Crowds 1952.

Civic pride appears in Town Hall Clock Winding 1947, Restoring the Bede Memorial after war, Sir John Priestman Library 1948, Technical College complete 1953 and Building Holy Rosary RC Church 1953. We glimpse Margaret Lockwood in Sunderland 1947, Al Martino May 1954 and Sir Stafford Cripps at Roker Park for Elections 1945.

From Thorney Close Estate 1947 and Nookside Prefabs 1953 to Dykelands Rd Tram Terminus Seaburn 1951 and the Last Tram Car on Circle Route 1954, this local history and heritage story has been curated as if by a local history group within a heritage centre.

It is a heritage information hub in video form, shaped by local historical research and designed to answer what is our heritage for future generations.

If you value local heritage, support your local heritage centre and share your memories of historic Sunderland and the River Wear in the comments. Let us continue this walk down memory lane together.

What is our heritage
Founded in 1900, the Sunderland Antiquarian Society is the UK’s largest local history group, serving as the primary custodian of historic Sunderland local heritage. Its core purpose is to advance public education regarding the local history and heritage of Sunderland and its surrounding areas.

The society functions as a heritage information hub, maintaining a huge amount of old photo collections, newspapers, and artefacts at its local heritage centre, facilitating historical research for both members and the general public, offering access to rare local heritage documents such as shipyard records and family history.

Beyond preservation, the society actively promotes local history and heritage through a regular programme of a local history presentation, illustrated talks, exhibitions, and various publications. It essentially acts as a heritage information hub as well as a local history group for the community to explore and celebrate local history and heritage of the rich industrial and social past of Wearside.
