From its origins as one of the foremost centres of learning in
Christendom to its industrial triumph as the 'largest shipbuilding
town in the world', Sunderland has a rich and varied history. This
extraordinary story is embodied in the buildings that have shaped
the city. Sunderland in 50 Buildings explores the history of this
vibrant community by analysing a selection of its greatest
architectural treasures. From the Saxon church of St Peter to the
modern Stadium of Light, this unique study celebrates Sunderland's
architectural heritage in a new and accessible way. Architectural
historian Michael Johnson guides the reader on a tour of the city's
historic buildings and modern architectural marvels. The churches,
theatres, pubs, and cinemas of Sunderland's industrial heyday are
examined alongside the innovative buildings of a
twenty-first-century city. Informative entries are arranged
chronologically and a specially designed map appears at the
beginning of the volume to show where each building is located. The
text is illustrated with colour photographs and archival images
showcasing the best of Sunderland's heritage.
