Yeah it was taken over by a community/arts initiative. I went to a candlelit book reading there a couple of years ago, the atmosphere was superb.

I would think some of the buildings round the angel pub and free masons hall beside the fish quay
The building beside the old 29 and fire station used to be the oldest

You may well be right. I think the land on which the Minster stands has had a church there for hundreds of years. But Holy Trinity may well be the oldest still standing.

Bronze age settlements on Humbledon Hill and Warden Law though not really buildings as such. Burial chambers on Hastings Hill and at Seven Sisters are Neolithic and I guess would meet some of the criteria of a building... otherwise it’s likely to be a random non-listed building somewhere in the East End or the are around the minster Such as the buildings that are occupied by 2 Church Lane and Empire Spice (is that what it’s called?). I remember reading that building occupied by Fitzgerald’s is really old (like mid 17thC), but it’s not listed so difficult to be sure. Then you’ve got Holy Trinity and The Clarendon and The Boars Head which are all 1719 to 1720’s. The Minster is pre-Norman conquest but is unrecognisable from its original incarnations.
Not even the oldest building in Penshaw

When we lived in 2 Church Lane in the late 50s and early 60s, we were told that the house was over 300 years old then. Sadly they were subsequently demolished and the present nondescript buildings were built. They were stone built and I carved my initials outside the back door.
That one near the old 29 was a Chinese takeaway. Pretty sure they were the oldest at the time of demolition in the 80s.
There is a wall remaining over the road from Park Lane which I believe is very old. Behind the student flats on Stockton Road.

There are three or four buildings at bottom of high street east that look old. Google reckons Bull Lane properties date from 1690.

It’s a good shout. Dates from the 1500s. Me dads mate used to live in it and it’s the oldest inhabited house in Sunderland I believe. The houses behind Holmeland Stores date to 1640, so there are a few that go way back.
Aye. No idea of age.
