About Sunderland
Sunderland is a vibrant coastal city with a proud history and an exciting future. Once known as the “Great Shipbuilding City,” Sunderland played a major role in Britain’s maritime and industrial past, with shipyards lining the River Wear for over 600 years. The city also has deep roots in coal mining and glassmaking — industries that helped shape its strong sense of community and resilience.
Today, Sunderland is embracing a new chapter, with ambitious regeneration transforming the city centre and riverside areas. The landmark Riverside Sunderland development is bringing new homes, offices, and green spaces to the heart of the city, while projects like the Culture House and the transformation of High Street West are creating a lively, modern urban environment. With beautiful beaches, great transport links, and major investment in innovation and sustainability, Sunderland offers the perfect mix of heritage, opportunity, and quality of life — an inspiring place to live and work.
