This gorgeous building was built in approximately 1490! And is most famous for a former inhabitant called Marmaduke Buckle who passed away tragically at the age of 17 after a life tormented by disability and accusations of witchcraft, he left an inscription on a wall which had now been framed.

Ahead of the boys boxing next month, we’ve got something special at the gym for kids in the local community!

Matchroom Boxing are going to be in the gym on Monday 2-4pm filming the boys!

We’d love kids from the local area, whether they’ve boxed before or not, to come down, and take part in a session with Leo and Brad.

Alongside this, there’s a competition available to win TWO RINGSIDE TICKETS for the lads fights in Sunderland!

Please share this post so we can get as many youngsters as possible involved!!!

35 Stonegate, AKA At The Sign of the Bible Part 3. One of my favourite parts of the house was the carved wooden face with the teeth. You just don’t get that level of attention to detail in modern buildings.

35 Stonegate AKA At The Sign of the Bible. Part 2. More original features than you can shake a stick at so this and the final post (Part 3) are pretty much just a photo dump but just to reiterate, this building is amazing and in great condition from top to bottom.

35 Stonegate AKA At The Sign of the Bible, one of the most impressive buildings on Stonegate and that’s saying something! The front is the original building that has later been merged with other buildings to the rear. A bookshop from 1682-1873 before being bought by JW Knowles. Much of the stained glass is from when he used it as his residence and workshop. His family used the house until the 90’s when Jonathan Cainer astrologer bought it. He sold it for £800,000 in 2014 then a year later it sold for £1.8 million!

9 Bridge St, built circa 1820, the building includes part of 1 Skeldergate. Sam is the first shop owner to invite me to check out his basement so I was very grateful to come have a look. Thankfully he’s someone that utilises and maintains the cellar areas and has installed a window on the stairwell side in a sympathetic way to the building to aid light and fresh air, but still in certain areas there are large puddles in the under pavement areas due to drainage issues from the road. Thanks for the invite
