The Architecture of Sunderland, 1700-1914

Dr. Michael Johnson is an architectural historian with a particular interest in North-East England. He worked as a lecturer at Northumbria University for six years, and currently teaches the History of Design at Sunderland University. He researched the architecture of Sunderland for the VCH, and his photographs appeared in Gill Cookson's "Sunderland: Building a City" (Phillimore, 2010). Michael plays an active role in the Sunderland Heritage Forum and the Sunderland Heritage Quarter. Graham Potts was, alongside Dr. Johnson, commissioned to research Sunderland's architectural heritage by the Durham Victoria County History. Their findings appear in this volume.
