Fucking hell it took some time and effort to get those pics to upload. Pointless but at least it's finally achieved.

Just dipped in to the last couple of pages of this thread and the pics are giving me strong feels. Not the area, I've been down south all my life, but something about the cars and the vibe of the streets really reminds me of being a kid in the 70/80's. The colours, the style, the fumes from the exhausts on cold days... 

I'm going to start at the beginning now, thanks for posting these.

I believe the Rover, looking at a Minis arse, is quayside (the mini shed is now The Copthorne)... So photographer has his back to the High Level Bridge piers.

Red 'Northern' atlantean is on the 'new road' parallel to King St, Sheelz. Bit of bridge arch is the BR line into S Sh station... L8r METRO

Yeah, the Metro bridge is a give away but I wasn't sure if this was still a continuation of Scotswood Rd in those days.

From the multi story car park

 

My dad was a bobby in King St/Ocean Rd. the buildings in the background where a bombed out Church and other terraces. The new library and the regeneration* after that cleared a lot away.

 

Im enjoying these pictures.

Sunderlands last “k” reg National, indeed its last National as it was incorporated into Northern by the time the next one ( MCN894 - chassis 108) was delivered. Chassis no 105 means its the fifth production National. Ended its life at Lincolnshire and like most of the early ones was converted to single door 52 seat configuration fairly early in its life. Quite the rare beast and still sporting the very short lived brushed stainless front and rear bumpers.

 

I really must get out more.
