Stone properties, façade painted white. Sunderland Street was formerly a long vibrant shopping street, with various shops including Palister's Drapery. When the road was truncated by the A690 works, a large number of buildings were demolished and the character of the street was altered. Once an integral part of the core of the town, Sunderland Street is now more peripheral in character and function. Broadway House (Government Offices), Frederick Place and Buffs Club have spoilt this street. No. 11 is occupied by Hair Connection, No. 12 is a Chinese Takeaway.
