Sunderland is a city and port in the North East of England, located in Tyne and Wear at the mouth of the River Wear, roughly 10 miles southeast of Newcastle upon Tyne. It is part of the Wearside area and has a rich industrial history, including shipbuilding, coal trading, and glassmaking, with modern roles in education, culture, and services. The area has urban neighborhoods on both sides of the Wear, with Monkwearmouth and Bishopwearmouth on the south bank and Monkwearmouth on the north bank.
