Sunderland: shipbuilding, glassmaking and a changing industrial city

Sunderland’s shipbuilding history once made the Wear one of Britain’s great shipbuilding rivers. Glassmaking reaches much further back, with Anglo-Saxon Monkwearmouth associated with early glass craft and imported techniques. The National Glass Centre permanently closed on 31 July 2026; Sunderland’s new Glassworks initiative is a separate maker-focused project intended to sustain glass and ceramics skills.

Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens also closed to the public on 29 August 2026 for a major redevelopment. The closure does not erase the collections or histories represented there; it changes how and when visitors can access them.
