00:00 Pick and mix, record booths, personal appearances from celebrities, the High Street had a golden
00:10 age we're unlikely ever to see again.
00:12 Sunderland was no exception.
00:13 At one time it was so rammed with department stores that bins opened a branch across the
00:18 road from itself.
00:19 Sunderland folk took Joplin's for granted to such an extent that for decades we all
00:23 called it Joblings.
00:24 We didn't know what we had till it was gone.
00:26 Join us for a nostalgic stroll around the sights of Sunderland's lost shops with walking
00:31 tours guide Ian Moule.
00:32 It covers everything from the excitement of seeing Santa Claus to heartbreak in the doorway
00:37 of books fashions.
