Concord, Sunderland

Woodland Terrace, Concord, in the 1960s

Concord is an area of Washington in City of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England. Historically, Concord was part of County Durham, joining the county of Tyne and Wear in 1974, following its creation.

Washington is located between the cities of Durham, Sunderland and Newcastle upon Tyne hence, it has close ties to all three cities.

The main street in Concord's centre is Front Street, which comprises several local shops, bars and cafés. Concord houses the Washington Millennium Centre, situated in The Oval, which provides youth clubs for children and young people, as well as having an outdoor football area and other regular activities. The village also has a small health centre, the Victoria Health Centre, situated on Victoria Road, near to the bus station.

Neighbouring villages include Albany, Donwell, Usworth, Sulgrave and Follingsby. Nearby industrial estates include Stephenson and Hertburn, as well as the Nissan UK Factory.

Washington School is also nearby, just north of the Sunderland Highway.
