A History of Sunderland: Third Edition

4.9/5 (29119 ratings)

Description:A History of Sunderland deals in a lucid manner with the fascinating story of human activity on Wearside, a story that begins thousands of years ago when the Sunderland area was covered in dense woodland and Stone Age hunter–gatherers were at large. Subsequently, the Romans came and were followed by monks who transformed Wearmouth into a place of renown, best known for its associations with the famous scholar, Bede. During the Middle Ages, Sunderland became a borough and was affected by Scottish raids and the Black Death. In the Tudor period, it was described as ‘in great decay of buildings and inhabitants’, but change was at hand. The development of industry, particularly the coal trade, brought about a transformation—Sunderland began to thrive and its population grew. As the 18th century drew to a close, Sunderland’s shipbuilding industry began a remarkable process of expansion, adding to the town’s prosperity. But prosperity was not enjoyed by all. Some residents led lives blighted by grinding poverty in parts of Sunderland infamous for filth and squalor. Poverty was again prevalent during the Depression, when Sunderland had an unenviable reputation for high unemployment and overcrowding. The Second World War brought work, but it also brought death and destruction, and in the post–war years Sunderland witnessed remarkable house building programmes aimed at addressing its shortage of decent accommodation. Many other changes have occurred, such as the end of traditional heavy industries, the establishment of Nissan, and the granting of city status in 1992. The first edition of a History of Sunderland was published in 1995. It was fully revised in 2001. In 2011 this third edition was published with interesting and informative endnotes for each chapter. There are 126 illustrations (many in colour) supplied at maximum quality.
