Good evening! Thank you very much to everybody for getting the channel to 2,800 subscribers - do subscribe if you haven't yet, it really helps me out to make more interesting tours, and I have some exciting plans for the near future too :) Now for some bonus info on Seahouses: we mention around 13:11 about Chathill station, the nearest station to Seahouses. However, the village was once home to its own station, which was the terminus of the North Sunderland Railway, which stopped at North Sunderland and Seahouses on the route from Chathill. It was a short, independent line, but it closed down in 1951, and the stations with it.

There are lots of amateur travelogues on KZread, many of them quite a disappoint. This feature on Seahouses is one of the best I've seen.

Coming from the City of Sunderland, I can confirm that the name of 'our Sunderland' is derived from 'sundered land', in our case land 'sundered' or parted from the church. The original Sunderland was on the south side of the river Wear, whilst the church owned the land north of the river in what is known as Monkwearmouth. Loved the video, and have visited Seahouses many times.

Another well presented and informative video. I could almost smell the smoke house, kippers were a real favourite with me until I reached my 40s/50s. Then almost overnight they became impossible to eat due to the awful heartburn which invariably followed after eating them! Haven't had any in an age. One thing I didn't notice, or rather two, namely litter and graffiti, and how often can we say that? Steadily working my way through your collection. Guisborough next methinks. I had my first proper job interview at Guisborough Hall after leaving school in 1977, as a trainee junior butler no less.

Nice walking tour of Seahouses thank you. Can I make a small correction? While Swallows Fish is based at the site of a very old fish smokery and is a wonderful shop, the home of the kipper was just round the corner.
