Local History Newsletter Local History Newsletter ‘From the past, we reach out to the Spring Term Issue 2021 present and to the future.’ In this newsletter, the Monkwearmouth Academy History Department hope to educate our community on the rich tapestry that is Sunderland’s history. To many of us, when we think of studying history we think of the rise and fall of empires, great wars and battles. Although history’s bigger picture is given by these studies, it is worthwhile to remember that those major events we learn about were made up of individuals, families and communities that all played their part in shaping and being shaped by history. In Sunderland, history is all around us. So Seaburn Station 1971 much so, that we quite often miss what is right in front of ours eyes! Want to know more? You can find shelves full of local history at the newly refurbished Fulwell Library, on Dene Lane. The library will reopen it’s doors on Monday 12th April. Now more than ever, it is so important to support the local libraries in our community. You can also pick up a paper copy of this newsletter from Fulwell Library from Monday 29th March onwards. Monkwearmouth Academy 1962 Did You Know? Did You Know? Did You Know? On his world tour in the 1870s, ex US President Ulysses S. Grant visited Sunderland. Whilst here in 1877, he oversaw the laying of the first stone in the building of the Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens. He arrived into the city via Monkwearmouth train station. The Borrowdale, the second ever ship to take British convicted criminals to a penal colony Australia in 1787, was built in Sunderland two years prior. Although we are famous for our vast coal mining empire, the only reason we began mining coal in the first place was to help our first big export… salt! Coal was needed to heat the salt pans on Pann's Bank in the East End, evaporating the sea water and leaving behind salt for the locals to sell. THE LOCAL HISTORY OF MONKWEARMOUTH AND SURROUNDING AREAS Sunderland is now believed to be a Roman port town, after archaeologists found five stone anchors in the River Wear, near North Hylton. Historians are already aware of Roman forts in Chester-Le-Street, further up the river. If correct, this could imply that Sunderland has been a bustling port for over 2,000 years! The artefacts have been taken to Durham University for further investigation. At one point, Sunderland had one of the deepest coal mines in the world and was shipping coal from 1,590 feet below the surface from Wearmouth Colliery in Monkwearmouth. The conditions down the pit were no better than any other. Often families were too poor to send their children to school. In the North East, many parents knew their boys would have no other choice than to follow in their fathers and grandfathers footsteps and become coal miners when they were old enough. Many thought preparing them for this from a young age would actually help the children. Unfortunately, the mines were dark, filthy and dangerous. Today we now that the coal dust would have caused long lasting damage to the workers’ lungs. This would have been even worse for children as it would sometimes stop their lungs from properly forming. Infants made up 1/5 of the workforce in Sunderland pits. About 15% of Monkwearmouth’s work force was under 13 years old. STREET NAME MEANINGS – ROKER Stansfield Street, Roker – Named after James Field Stanfield (1749 – 1824), the actor turned Slave Trade abolitionist, who lived in Sunderland for a short period of time. Horatio Street, Roker – After the successful battles of Trafalgar and Waterloo, many streets were named after the UK victories. Lord Nelson, first name Horatio, also has many a street named after him in cities and towns across England. Bede Street, Roker – One of many streets named after the Sunderland saint, Bede Street remembers the Anglo-Saxon Christian scholar who lived at St Peter’s Monastery in Monkwearmouth. The Venerable Bede is often referred to as the father of English History, due to his extensive writings and teachings. Goalmouth Close, Clockstand Close, Promotion Close & Midfield Drive, Roker – Built on the land of the old Roker Park Stadium, these newer style houses all have SAFC themed names. Our Community Our pupils wanted an opportunity to hear real stories from Sunderland residents who had seen the industrial town change into the metropolitan city it is today. Four residents at Glenholme Care Home kindly obliged and sent us some beautiful memories of the Sunderland they remember. Walter Shadforth, 90. Audrey Clark, 86. What is your earliest memory?

    TOWN OF SUNDERLAND - A BRIEF HISTORY Sunderland, Massachusetts, is one of the southernmost towns in Franklin County. The community is situated in the eastern portion of the Connecticut River Valley in western Massachusetts. Sunderland was incorporated as a town in 1718. Before being incorporated, Sunderland was known as Swampfield, so named by its first settlers because of the swampland within the town. Settlement of the town originated on what is now North and South Main Streets, with forty designated house lots. Settlers were also assigned an equal percentage of swampland, pasture land, and wood lots. North and South Main Streets are scenic, broad avenues that appeal to our sensor of what a small New England town should be. In the late 1820’s, maple trees were planted on each side of the street, which has added to Sunderland’s beauty, especially as leaves change color, or after a snowfall. The houses are a pleasing mix of sizes and styles; in fact, Sunderland’s main street has examples of most of the architectural styles of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Mount Toby range is another source of beauty and historic background. A watchtower is at the peak along with a commanding view of the river valley. The north part of Mt. Toby is the home of the “Sunderland Cave.” It is not technically a cave, but huge slabs of tipped conglomerate rock. Caves are rare in this part of New England, which has made this one more widely known. Sunderland’s first Irish immigrants located their homes on Mt. Toby in the mid-nineteenth century, which were known as “paddy farms.” Trails are still evident, along with old stone walls marking boundary lines.

    EDITORIAL Another year has come and gone, and we trust that 1989 will be a happy and prosperous one for all our members. If our Society is to continue to flourish, however, it is essential that more members should play an active part in running its affairs. Ken Brown, our Secretary since 1983 (and acting Programme Organiser for the last year), is resigning at the Annual General Meeting in May, and Irene Blackburn, who is responsible for the Members' Interests and Second Time Around sections of the Journal, will be giving up her position as Research Editor later in the year. We are very grateful to them both for all the work they have done on our behalf. In addition to these two posts, we are still short of a Programme Organiser. If you know of anyone who might be willing to take on any of these jobs please let Ken Brown know as soon as possible - otherwise the Society may come to a grinding halt. One of the most important events of 1988 as far as the Society was concerned was the publication of the long-awaited Directory of Members' Interests. Its production entailed a great deal of hard work on the part of those responsible, and it also placed a severe strain on the Society's finances. In view of the fact that it was initially offered free to members (only the cost of postage and packing being charged), the demand for copies was disappointingly small. Copies are still available, and although now priced £2.75 each (post free to addresses in the U.K.), they are very good value.

  • APPENDIX 1 Policy Context 1. Sunderland City Council Is
    APPENDIX 1 Policy Context 1. Sunderland City Council is consulting on a Draft Core Strategy and Development Plan (CSDP). The plan is the first published draft of Sunderland’s emerging Core Strategy, and the current consultation follows consultation carried out in summer 2016 on growth and development options. 2. The draft CSDP identifies several “housing release sites”, situated around Springwell Village, and to the North of Washington, proposed within the plan for deletion from the Green Belt, and allocation for residential development. The draft plan considers development of land in the Green Belt is necessary to meet housing needs identified for the City. 3. The Council shares borders with Sunderland City Council and as such development of these sites, and other strategic planning issues set out within the CSDP have potential to affect Gateshead. The current consultation gives the Council the opportunity to provide a formal response on the emerging policies, including proposed site allocations of the Sunderland Local Plan. 4. The scale of housing need identified in the CSDP (at an average of 768 dwellings per year) is considerably higher than the level of housing need indicated by past demographic trends related to Sunderland. The CSDP argues that a higher level of housing growth is required to support jobs growth in the City, and makes clear that a strategic priority of the emerging Local Plan is to reduce the trend of outward migration from Sunderland to its neighbouring local authority areas. 5. Sunderland City Council is yet to reach agreement with its neighbouring areas regarding the potential cross-boundary impacts of its planned housing growth.
