Early Friday evening and this large pub is absolutely packed. The Mackem accent remains a strong one, and it is in full flow here. My dulcet, soft southern tones are unusual enough to turn heads at the bar.

I had just missed a train, and had almost one hour to wait for the next one, so I went looking for a pub without much success, the banks seemed to be still operating as banks instead of being converted to pubs. I asked an elderly gentleman for directions and he told me that there is a Jamesons pub at the bottom of the road. Thankfully he meant a Wetherspoons, the pub was absolutely full with the areas at each end occupied by diners, and the central area occupied by drinkers.

The pub is found in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, SR1 1RH.

Wetherspoon pub occupying a prominent corner site close to Sunderland railway station. It is named after William Jameson, who laid out Fawcett Street and the surrounding roads on behalf of the Fawcett family. Fawcett Street was originally one of Sunderland's finest residential areas, springing up as a result of the opening of the Wear Bridge, in 1796. Building work started in 1814, when the family instructed William Jameson to lay out the estate. By 1844, Fawcett Street was virtually complete, with imposing three-storey and four-storey houses.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 12 different beers and tried 2 of them.
