About

Shiney Row sits within the City of Sunderland in northeast England and lends its name to a local electoral ward.

Today the area is primarily residential, with a mix of terraced housing and post-war estates. Community institutions such as the village hall and parish church act as focal points for local groups and events.
Local facilities include a primary school, small shops, allotments and a community centre used by different age groups. Public transport and road links connect Shiney Row to the wider city while leaving the immediate neighbourhood centred on its main thoroughfare. Playing fields and club pitches host weekend football and youth activities.
