About

Millfield is a residential district situated directly to the west of Sunderland's city centre. The area is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, built to accommodate the workforce of the city's former industrial heyday. Its streets form a dense grid pattern, creating a close-knit urban community with local shops and services concentrated along its main thoroughfares.

The area is home to a significant student population due to its proximity to the University of Sunderland's City Campus. A notable local landmark is the former Millfield Swimming Baths, a historic art deco building that has been repurposed for community and commercial use. Green space is provided by nearby Barnes Park, which lies just to the north of the neighbourhood's boundary.
