SR1 postcode is a postcode district located in the northeastern part of Sunderland in Tyne and Wear, England. It is located to the north of the city centre, near the River Wear and also covers parts of the East End neighbourhood as well as some of the easternmost parts of the city's urban core.

SR1 postcode district covers a large and diverse area, ranging from the densely populated inner city suburbs of East End, to the more residential areas in Millfield and Plains Farm, and the more rural communities of Doxford Park and South Hylton. It is home to many historic landmarks, such as the Angel of the North, the National Glass Centre, and the St. Peter's Church ruins.

The SR1 postcode area has high levels of social and economic deprivation, with income levels here significantly lower than the national average, influenced partly by the past and continuing impact of deindustrialisation, which has often pushed poverty-stricken families to the limits of the local economy.

Public transport links within the SR1 postcode district are limited, but recently the area has seen much investment in new infrastructure. There's been the building of new cycle routes, the erection of new bus stops, and the opening of a new Metrolink station in Sunderland city centre, which provides vital access to local services and further afield.

The SR1 CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group) plays a major role in providing healthcare services to the local community. The CCG serves a population of around 52,000 people, covering areas such as the East End, Doxford Park, Plains Farm, and Millfield.
