Hendon is an area of Sunderland, North East England towards the east of the city. It remains the location of much heavy industry, along with Victorian terraces and high-rise residential tower blocks. The old East End of Sunderland was home to barracks until the 1900s. These were located on the south side near the south docks, near present-day Warren Court (formerly known as Warren Street).

- Hendon is an area of Sunderland, North East England towards the east of the city. It remains the location of much heavy industry, along with Victorian terraces and high-rise residential tower blocks. The old East End of Sunderland was home to barracks until the 1900s. These were located on the south side near the south docks, near present-day Warren Court (formerly known as Warren Street). The "Gladstone Bridge", the first aluminium bascule bridge in the world, spans the junction of Hendon and Hudson Docks. It is a listed structure. The Victoria Hall Disaster occurred in the area on June 16, 1883; when 183 children lost their lives during a crush in a theatre, whilst running down the stairs in search of free toys. It remains the worst stampede disaster in British history. The area was the home of Sunderland AFC's first ever ground, The Blue House Field. The club was founded at the nearby Hendon Board School in 1879 by James Allen. Loosely on its site is now the Raich Carter Sports Centre, named in honour of the famous footballer who was born in the area. Another notable figure from Hendon was Jack Crawford, the British naval hero who nailed the Union Flag back to the snapped and fallen mast during the Battle of Camperdown, as to avoid insinuating surrender.
