Hmmmm.....so obviously what inspired the D'Ampton worm song from the movie Lair of the White Worm!

This great song is part of County Durham's heritage. Until1974, no thanks to Edward Heath, Sunderland was part of County Durham. So the song is ours, as Wearsiders. So stop arguing. It'll only make the Mags laugh! I had an uncle born in Southwick (Suddick) died in the DLI 1918.

@imploded1 Washington, has only been part of Sunderland since 1974 Local Government re-organisation which also created the county of Tyne & Wear. Prior to that, Washington was part of County Durham.

Washington is a part of the City of Sunderland, it's not hard now is it?
And predates Sunderland, that's impressive as Sunderland has been used since 2000 BC as a place of human occupance.

=[ miss my childhood so much. sung this in year 4, my teacher would fetch her guitar in and play songs such as greensleeves and scarborough fair. i'm now 18 and i still love this song =]
You started by saying it is a sunderland song and then say it is a washington song. Make your mind up. If it is Worm Hill Fatfield where the worm is supposed to have wrapped itself around then that would suggest the worm was caught in the wear in Lambton park, next to chester-le-street. Do remember that the age of this story pre-dates sunderland. And try not to swear. There's a good chap.
