The SR postcode area, also known as the Sunderland postcode area,[2] is a group of postcode districts around Peterlee, Seaham and Sunderland in Tyne and Wear and County Durham in England.

Coverage

The postcode area forms a coastal strip from South Tyneside in the north to eastern part of County Durham in the south. The Sunderland post town occupies six of the geographic districts, and forms a group at the north; occupying approximately half of the total area. The other half, comprising the Seaham and Peterlee post towns, forms two large postcode districts in a line running south from Sunderland.
