Sunderland enjoys a good hark back. Mackems (Sunderland natives)
take great pleasure in sharing their knowledge - pointing out what
used to be where and why. Author Marie Gardiner uncovers some of
the hidden history behind this remarkable city by the sea, shedding
light on some of its fascinating and enigmatic stories, people and
places. Stand a few inches taller with pride as we encounter past
heroes like lifesaver Joseph 'Stormy Petrel' Hodgson, and Jack
Crawford, who reached dizzying heights in the midst of battle.
Learn how Sunderland's football club came into existence, how we
almost lost our beloved Sunderland Empire Theatre and why there's a
concrete boat stuck to the bed of the River Wear. As we negotiate
the twists and turns of Sunderland's history, we take an occasional
dark path, where we uncover mass graves, a serial murderer, and
discover how a terrible tragedy had national consequences. Secret
Sunderland reveals all this and more, and will appeal to locals and
visitors alike.
