About

Fulwell occupies a coastal stretch in the north of Sunderland, characterised by residential streets and local commercial centres along Sea Road and the Newcastle Road corridor. The area includes the historic Fulwell Mill, a prominent local landmark, and borders the expansive Roker and Seaburn beaches, which provide a long seafront for recreation. Housing is primarily a mix of interwar semis-detached homes and later developments, with some Victorian terraces closer to its boundaries.

The ward is well-served by several parks and green spaces, including Jacky White's Market and the grassland around the mill. Its community infrastructure revolves around these areas and local schools. Public transport links, particularly bus routes along the main roads, connect it to Sunderland city centre and neighbouring suburbs, supporting its role as a largely self-contained residential district.
