I went to Northumbria Uni (well, it was Newcastle Poly at the time).

 

My best mate up there was a mackem, from Cleadon. We went over to his parents house a few times. Now, that's a particularly posh area, so I assumed most of Sunderland was relatively pleasant (like Newcastle). Then we went into the centre, and I rapidly re-evaluated.

 

This was 1989, though, I would imagine it has improved a lot since then.

 

 

No. It hasn't.

Guessing the only difference is that there are more Greggs and Joplings is shut.

It'll just be like everywhere with some nice parts and some not so nice. The centre is still mostly bollocks though, they've got the Bridges which is a new shopping centre but all the shops are tiny. It's like something off The Wicker Man walking round at times, but then again so is outside The Black Garter  :lol:

Cleadon only has a Sunderland postcode. It isn't in Sunderland it is part of South Tyneside. So you really didn't encounter a nice part of Sunderland.
