Sunderland or Sunderland Point as this location is commonly known lies at the mouth of The Lune Estuary between The City of Lancaster and the ferry terminal port at Heysham. The village which can only be reached at low tide by single track road across the marshes from Overton, was once an important port in the slave trade. Developed by Robert Lawson, a local Quaker,as an out port for Lancaster where ships could tie up and wait for the tide or even unload. Among the fine buildings along the old quayside were an inn, The Three mariners, and the old customs house. Other attractions are Sambo's Grave and The Cotton Tree which unfortunately blew down in 1998. This picture shows Sunderland Point itself with Plover Scar Lighthouse in the estuary mouth at the top left
