I'm Stephen. I started Future Sunderland in 2021 to document the changing city. I began to enjoy writing updates on developments on Facebook and as a photographer I naturally wanted to photograph it all. I soon found a brilliant community of people who are equally passionate about Sunderland. I'm a season card holder in the south stand, positive that the city and club are moving in the right direction. The latter maybe a few more bumps on the road than we'd like!

The restored Elephant Tea Rooms are part of wider plans to restore the buildings next door, helping to further bring Fawcett Street back to it's full potential.
