Pennywell is one of the UK's largest post-war social housing developments, and is situated in the west of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, North East England.
Pennywell is one of the least privileged areas of the city. The Sunderland Housing Group, in an attempt to redevelop the area, moved residents who have had complaints filed against them into the surrounding estates.
An industrial area on the western edge of the suburb has, among other businesses Magna Kansei's main plant and the Sunderland Echo building.
