New clock brings old memories
Southwick Community School students with Deputy Mayor of Sunderland, Councillor Barry Curran and Deputy Mayoress Carol Curran.
A new clock remembering the sacrifices of the First World War has
brought old memories back to some of the family members of
those who lost their lives in the attack.
The 16ft tall clock is at the Wheatsheaf junction in Monkwearmouth
and close to where bombs were dropped in a Zeppelin raid that
killed 16 people on 1 April 1916. The total death toll was 22 as
more died from their injuries in the following days.
The clock and installation has been paid for with a £16,000 grant
from Sunderland City Council's North Area Committee.
It includes an interpretation panel outlining details of the Zeppelin
raid. It replaces the former concrete clock that was beyond repair
and removed as part of the remodelling of the Wheatsheaf junction.
A short ceremony in November last year was led by Sunderland's
Deputy Mayor, Councillor Barry Curran, and a two minute silence
was observed.
He said: "Every year we remember the thousands of people who
made the ultimate sacrifice as they performed their duties during
the First World War, and in subsequent conflicts.
"I was touched that families of those who lost their lives shared
Roker Pier
Another bid for further Heritage Lottery
funding has been submitted. If successful it will
be used to restore the lighthouse allowing the
facility, along with the pier tunnel, to be
opened up as a visitor attraction.
Restoration works to the pier were completed
in 2014. The pier deck was fully resurfaced and
repairs to the structure, below the waterline,
were carried out. These works will ensure that
the 111 year old structure continues to stand
despite the battering of the North Sea.
their stories and memories of the attacks. We were able to confirm
that their family members were commemorated on the plaque."
In total, as more people succumbed to their injuries, the raid
claimed 22 deaths and 128 people were injured.
Among the deaths, were a tram inspector, and a man who was
winding up the clock on the Wheatsheaf Corporation Transport
Tower.
Councillor Denny Wilson, Chair of the North Area Committee, said:
"This clock is commemorating an evening when war came to
Sunderland and a deadly load of bombs were dropped through
Millfield, Deptford and here in Monkwearmouth at the railway
station and in North Bridge Street. Lest we forget."
If you have anything you would like to share about your memories
of the Zeppelin raid, please send them to Martin Routledge, Keeper
of History, Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens, Borough Road,
Sunderland, SR1 1PP or telephone 0191 561 8609.
Memories received will be used in an exhibition at the Sunderland
Museum & Winter Gardens in June.

physical infrastructure and create
38 new jobs.

Hilton Hotel
Artist impression of the new hotel.
Sunderland’s brand-new Hilton Hotel moved a step closer with the start of work on the site next to the
Stadium of Light in December.
The 141-bed hotel, is set to open in spring 2016 and is part of the world famous Hilton group. It will
have a feature bar and destination restaurant, meeting spaces and private dining areas.
During construction it is expected the hotel will create up to 180 jobs and once completed, the hotel
will create over 100 direct full and part-time jobs.
Cllr Harry Trueman, Deputy Leader of Sunderland City Council, said: “It’s great to see this project
getting started, it is a fantastic development for Sunderland. The city welcomes hundreds of thousands
of visitors every year, to a wide range of major events, and new high-quality hotel provision like this will
hopefully encourage more of those visitors to stay in Sunderland, providing an additional boost to the
local economy.
The hotel development is being built by north-east based Tolent Construction Limited. Its chairman,
John Wood said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to work on this very prestigious
development, which will add to the ever increasing profile of Sunderland and the region.
“Our own locally-based workforce will be employed on the project and wherever possible we will
resource local suppliers and subcontractors to ensure that we reinvest in the local economy."
