Oh we do like to be beside the seaside! Especially when it looks as great as it does in this cine film footage of Seaburn.

This rare one-minute clip shows the Sunderland seaside in 1966 with people having fun as they enjoy the thrill of the fairground rides.

We have the North East Film Archive (NEFA) to thank for sharing another piece of Wearside history from their online vaults.
