WW1 PLANE CRASH TRAGEDY AND ALICE IN WONDERLAND CONNECTION! Southwick Sunderland History Tour

Do you ever think Sunderland is a gloomy depressing place with no history? Well think again - because today we’re exploring Southwick - an area of North Sunderland which often gets a bad reputation but has a surprising amount of history! From a World War 1 plane crash to an interesting link to Lewis Carroll and Alice in Wonderland, Southwick is full of historic stories that I’m excited to share. We’re exploring Southwick Green today; an area that has been at the heart of the community since the original settlement.
