Big River. Based on the Tyne, but could be any industrial towns and rivers of bygone days

Great clip thta one, brings back some great memories. My G.F. and G.G.F. were from Sunderland as as a young lad I used to go there for the summer. Often taken down to see ships being launched or to watch the ship building from a little distance. So sadly all those wonderful times are now gone as is most of the U.K. ship building.

That brought back some memories.I spent a year in a Stevie Clarke collier.I was the only one who wasn't a Geordie. I enjoyed every minute of it. Learned what a great crowd Geordies are. Made a lot of friends up there,lost contact long ago unfortunately PS.I also learned a lot about good beer.

i was watching a show on tv awile ago called COASTS very interesting it showed how the decline in shipping as affected the different ports plus the ship building but the rivers seem to be a lot cleaner it also showed places that i had been to when i was at sea also places i went when i was a kid lou barron

I spoke to a very old man in a pub in Newcastle years ago, he was convinced that kaiser bill and hitler were the two greatest men that ever lived, I asked him why, he said they were the only men who ever brought work to Tyneside.
