About Silksworth

Silksworth forms part of Sunderland's residential heart, just a kilometre from the city centre and well-connected via the A690 to Durham and the A19 for longer journeys to Newcastle or the south. The area links seamlessly with New Silksworth and the Herrington suburbs across the gently rolling Tyne and Wear countryside. With over 350 EV charging points nearby and excellent local road networks, it serves both daily commuters and longer-distance travellers. The preserved Pithead Baths building, now housing an auto parts firm, still displays its original mining-era wall and railings.
