A Sunderland-based TikTok star is bringing history to life for a new audience with viral videos covering everything from a 'haunted' Greggs to forgotten castles.
Kathrine Taylor, 28, has held a keen interest in local history since she was a child growing up on Wearside and set up her popular social media account, entitled North East Nostalgic, last August.
Since then, many of her posts have captured the imaginations of TikTok users from the region and beyond with videos covering such quirks as the Edwardian-style fish and chips shop at the Beamish Museum, the curious backround to how Whitley Bay got its name and the paranormal past of a Sunderland branch of Greggs.
