Beach Street, Sunderland
Despite its name, Beach Street leads not to a beach but into an industrial area on the bank of the River Wear. In this image, the Stadium of Light (football ground) and Sunderland Aquatic Centre (swimming pool) are visible. Both are on the opposite side of the river.

Sunderland old and new
In the foreground is a derelict industrial building and a disused road leading under a disused railway bridge. These are reminders of Sunderland's past as an industrial city. In the background to the right is the Stadium of Light, a football stadium built in the 1990s on the site of a colliery.

Another footpath closed, Bishopwearmouth, Sunderland
There seems to be no access to the river bank in Bishopwearmouth - presumably because of the redevelopment associated with the 'Riverside Sunderland' regeneration project

Where is the Weardale Way?
Shortly after passing The Saltgrass Inn on Hanover Place, the long distance path veers to the left towards the river - at least it is supposed to. Problem is that it has been closed off. Never mind, thought I, there is another path further up the road.
Footpath closed and entrance firmly shut of with knife like railings to ensure compliance.
No diversion signs, in fact it seems that the Weardale Way no longer exists once it reaches Sunderland.
