About Fencing in Sunderland

Sunderland grew into one of the world's great shipbuilding towns, launching vessels from yards along the Wear for well over a century before the industry declined through the twentieth century. The city today mixes this maritime heritage with a university, a large retail centre, and a coastline including the popular Roker and Seaburn beaches. Housing spreads out through very different neighbourhoods, from dense inner terraces near the old shipyards to leafier suburbs further from the river.

Types of Materials found in Sunderland

Sunderland sits on the edge of the Magnesian Limestone belt, a distinctive Permian rock formation that runs along the County Durham coast and was, until the 1820s, thought to hide no coal beneath its considerable depth, until deep mining discovered rich seams at Hetton in 1822 and opened up a new era of deep coal mining in the area. Much of the city's residential ground is glacial boulder clay overlying this limestone or the Coal Measures further inland, generally holding water and draining slowly after sustained rain. Coastal areas near Roker and Seaburn sit closer to the limestone cliffs themselves, generally giving firmer ground than the clay dominant areas further from the coast.
