Summary

Sunderland is largely a product of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when coalmining and shipbuilding fuelled rapid expansion and development. Once known as the ‘largest shipbuilding town in the world’, Sunderland’s proud and distinctive identity is embodied in its historic buildings and in its changing urban form.The Architecture of Sunderland, 1700-1914 examines the city’s architectural history during the highpoint of its growth and prosperity. Exploring the cityscape from the richest to the humblest buildings, it brings to life the economic, social and cultural forces that have shaped the city. The text is illustrated with fascinating archival images and photographs taken especially for this volume.

Author Biography

Dr. Michael Johnson is an architectural historian with a particular interest in North-East England. He worked as a lecturer at Northumbria University for six years, and currently teaches the History of Design at Sunderland University. He researched the architecture of Sunderland for the VCH, and his photographs appeared in Gill Cookson’s Sunderland: Building a City (Phillimore, 2010). Michael plays an active role in the Sunderland Heritage Forum and the Sunderland Heritage Quarter. Graham Potts was, alongside Dr. Johnson, commissioned to research Sunderland’s architectural heritage by the Durham Victoria County History. Their findings appear in this volume.
