About

St Anne's ward sits on the southern bank of the River Wear in central Sunderland. The area is primarily residential, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing. Its western boundary is marked by the Queen Alexandra Bridge, a major transport link. The ward includes the streets surrounding the former site of the Wearmouth Colliery, a key part of the city's industrial heritage.

The residential streets lead down to the riverside, where former shipbuilding land has been redeveloped. This includes the Stadium of Light, home to Sunderland A.F.C., which dominates the eastern part of the ward. The area is directly across the river from the city centre, connected by the Wearmouth Bridge. The mix of historic housing and modern redevelopment defines its current landscape.
