Sunderland, Tyne and Wear (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sunderland lies at the heart of the City of Sunderland, a metropolitan borough of Tyne and Wear, in North East England. It is situated at the mouth of the River Wear. The name "Sunderland" is reputed to come from Soender-land (soender/sunder being the Anglo-Saxon infinitive, meaning "to part," 'snder' means "chopped" in modern Danish and Norwegian), likely to be reference to the valley carved by the River Wear on whose South bank the original settlement of Sunderland was founded.
