Two Constantinian coins were found opposite Roker Park Road South (the seaward end) in a garden below an octagonal bus shelter in 1935. The finds information is derived from the Sunderland Museum Accession Register, but the coins are probably now lost.

A coin of Constantine I (307-37A.D.) found c.1958 at the now demolished Durham District Omnibus garages - i.e. quite close to the sea shore. The find is recorded in the Sunderland Museum Accession Register and is probably still in the collection of the Museum.

A probable Roman coin found on Hendon beach 1961 and recorded in the Sunderland Museum Accession Register. The present location of the coin is unknown.

A coin of Postumus (258-267A.D.) found in 1965, apparently close to the high tide mark, certainly near the coast. The find information is recorded in the Sunderland Museum Accession Register, but the present location of the coin is unknown.

According to local tradition Galley Gill marks the place where Danish invaders found shelter for their vessels when plundering the district in Viking times. When the Lambton Coal Staiths were made, the remains of what was identified as a Danish galley were discovered embedded in the ground at the base of the limestone cliff in the old Gill.

When the Quakers moved their headquarters from High Street to Nile Street in 1822/3 they opened a new burying ground immediately north of the new meeting house, along the west side of the houses fronting the west side of Nile Street. This cemetery was in use between 1823 and 1856/7, when it was closed by Order in Council. The ground stretched over 530 yards, though the area used for interments was 184 feet x 34 feet. The graves were 9 feet for adults, 7 feet for children. In 1850 the Society agreed to place stones over the graves with names in full and date of death inscribed on them. From 1858 the Quakers used the Chester Road (Bishopwearmouth) Cemetery.

The Quakers built a meeting house at the corner of Nile Street and Borough Road in 1822 or 1823 to succeed the earlier one in High Street. It survived until c.1976. Its burying ground existed on its north side until 1856 or 1857, and other buildings came to be arranged around it, including a library, lecture room, women's meeting room and caretaker's cottage. On the adjacent site to the west the Quakers built a school in 1859 which, with later alterations, still stands.

In 1670 William Maude, traditionally the founder of the Sunderland Quakers, and Richard Willson bought ground in "the Pan field" for use as a burying place for the Quakers. It was a more convenient site for them than the one then in use at West Boldon. It is clearly marked "Friends' Old Burial Ground" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan (c.1860), and lay on the north side of High Street, behind or next to the probable site of the first meeting house. The Quakers left this house, and presumably the burying ground, in 1822. Corder, probably writing in the 1930s, said, "Quite recently sanction was obtained to disinter the bodies in the graveyard and hand the site over to the same firm (Alderson & Co.) to extend their premises". It is not clear just what happened at this time since, in 1991, on the removal of a concrete slab before roadworks, more bodies were found and duly removed. Wooden coffins and coffin handles were reported on this occasion.

A Quaker Meeting House was established in Sunderland around the mid-17th century, probably by William Maude who had come from Wakefield to set up as a draper. The house lay on the north side of High Street, and survived until 1688 when it was destroyed in a riot, not being rebuilt until 1718. The Quakers finally left these premises in 1822 when they were sold to be rebuilt as shops. A burying place was opened to the rear, the north-east side, of the house.

In c.1820 coins of Constantine I (306-337 A.D.) were found during building excavations near the south end of Villiers Street, apparently by Dr. Collingwood jun. of Sunderland, who reported the discovery to the Newcastle Society of Antiquaries. The exact provenance and present location of the finds are unknown.
