I have been in touch with both local and county record offices and they know
of no flag associated with Sunderland. One possible reason, is that unlike
Durham and Newcastle which were centres of Norman power, the area which is now
known as Sunderland had been an established English settlement since the 7th
century. However, a number of coats of arms have been granted since the 12th
century.
