NZ3958 : Eglinton Street, Sunderland
taken 12 years ago, near to Roker, Sunderland, England
Eglinton Street, Sunderland
Eglinton Street, close to the site of Monkwearmouth Colliery, is flanked by terraces of bungalows known as Sunderland cottages. A number of these have had their lofts converted into extra rooms.
Sunderland cottages
Sunderland expanded rapidly during the Victorian era, as it became a centre for coal-mining and shipbuilding. To provide housing for workers, streets of terraced bungalows were built and then sold to skilled workers who could afford to buy them. This was a different approach to many other towns and cities, hence this type of housing is called "Sunderland cottages".
