Amongst the new apartment blocks along the southern river front in Sunderland, this converted warehouse is one of the few original buildings remaining. Wylam Wharf was first recorded in 1601 and was used to trade in coal and general goods. Its central location made it one of the busiest of Sunderland's Wharves.
