About

St Peter's ward encompasses a mix of residential and green space along the northern bank of the River Wear. The area includes the historic St Peter's Church, part of the original monastic settlement that gave Sunderland its name. Housing is primarily comprised of terraced homes and modern apartment developments, with community facilities serving the local population. The ward's western edge is defined by the river's bend.

The Riverside Park provides a significant stretch of public greenery and walkways following the water. This area is directly adjacent to the University of Sunderland's St Peter's campus, which occupies former dockland buildings. The presence of the university and the ancient church creates a distinct blend of educational and historical elements within the ward's boundaries, set against the industrial backdrop of the river.
