How Sunderland Lost Industries were forced into closure., hitting the Sunderland Employment workforce hard. Sunderland Pottery, Luxton Laundry, Hepworth and Grandage, Brian Mills, Plessey, Jackson the Tailors, Jobling-Pyrex, Janet Frasers and many more all lost heritage industries. The shipyards too, Doxford’s, Austin’s, Greenwell’s, Bartram’s and dozens more, as well as the Coal Mines constantly feeding the demand and fuelling work on the Railways and Shipping. With the use of hidden heritage photos, this historical documentary video demonstrates what is our industrial heritage meant to Sunderland residents with photos of a small sample of Sunderland employment opportunities everyone living in Sunderland might be expected to earn a living from, but now all lost heritage never to return.
