Defining itself as the administrative centre for the City of Sunderland, this port city resides just a stones throw away from Newcastle-upon-Tyne. As the second largest settlement in the North East, following Newcastle, Sunderland's citizens, or "Mackems", stand proud in a city bestowed with a rich, compelling past, dating back to the 7th century and comprising of three original settlements: Monkwearmouth, Sunderland, and Bishopwearmouth.

From a renowned era of shipbuilding, coal, and salt trading that shaped its foundations from the 14th to 19th centuries, Sunderland has since navigated a successful course to become an automotive building hub following the decline of traditional industries. Bursting with maritime heritage and flanked by the impressive Wearmouth Bridge - a feat of 18th century engineering - Sunderland thrives today as a proud port city that was honoured with city status in 1992.
