About

Fulwell occupies a northern coastal stretch of Sunderland, characterised by residential streets and local commercial hubs along Sea Road and Station Road. The area is largely residential, with a mix of housing types from Victorian terraces to more modern developments.

The area is anchored by Fulwell Mill, a prominent local landmark and one of the North East's most complete surviving windmills. Recreation focuses on the extensive promenade and grassy slopes of Fulwell Golf Course, which sits between the housing and the coastline. Daily activity centres on its independent shops, supermarkets, and community facilities, serving a settled local population.
