Silksworth is a suburb of the City of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England. The area of Silksworth has been subject to human activity since the Bronze Ages, with archaeological sites of ancient Barrows having been discovered on the surrounding hills. The name of the place itself is thought to be of Anglo-Saxon origin and means ‘the enclosure of a man called Sigelac'. The first reference to the location appeared in the Middle Ages and is first referenced in a list of appendages of South Bishopwearmouth in King Athelstan’s gift to the See of Durham in 930 AD. The area at some time became a township of Bishopwearmouth, of which neighbouring Farringdon was a hamlet of.

Mining was a huge part of Silksworth's history, the business grew the suburbs population surge. The miners and their families had moved to the colliery areas seeking employment and also colliery housing was provided for the miners by the mine owner Lord Londonderry. The miners life was not an easy one, working conditions underground were very dangerous and the work very arduous. When Silksworth Colliery eventually closed in 1971 it was a massive blow to the local community as many of the local people relied on the colliery for their livelihood.
