Our past films have covered Sunderland in World War I, The History of Seaburn, Ryhope our Mining Village and lots more. We have visiting speakers Phil Curtis and Sharon Vincent talking about old Sunderland with slide shows.

We meet every second Tuesday of the month in Ryhope Community Centre on Black Road at 1:30pm in the Multi-Purpose Room, so come along and join us and enjoy a cup of tea after looking back over your local heritage.

Our next meeting is:

9th July 2024

Our meeting on Tuesday 9 July 2024 in Ryhope Community Centre with Keith Bell of the Ryhope Engines Museum providing a fascinating talk and slide show on a piece of Victorian history that has become a popular landmark in Ryhope.

Ryhope Water Pumping Station was completed in 1870 after four years under construction.

Serving Ryhope for nearly a century it closed in 1967, the stream valve was closed bringing an end to a remarkable example of Victorian water supply engineering.

Everybody’s welcome to come along to Ryhope Heritage Society, you can even join as a member, it’s free. We have many talks, side shows and great films of all of our local areas. Past screenings have included Sunderland though World War One, The History of Seaburn (which is re-running at our October meeting), Ryhope Our Mining Village and lots more.

We’ve also had best selling author Glenda Young talking about all her books that are based in Ryhope. Glenda will be with us next year talking about her new book “The Toffee Factory Girls”. Ryhope Heritage is very proud to have Glenda as a member of our society.

Come along to Ryhope Heritage Society meeting at Ryhope Community Centre on 9 July. Doors open at 1pm presentation/slide show starts at 1.30pm. Running time approx., 1 hour and enjoy a cup of tea after our meeting.
