Grindon is a suburb of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England.
Located three miles to the west of the city centre along Chester Road, Grindon originated as a Norman-era manor holding and was recreated into a post-war housing estate in the 20th century.
History
Historical linguists state that the name "Grindon" is derived from Old English and may mean "Green Hill", a reference to the geographic feature of the local Sandhill.[1]
The placename first appears in the Boldon Book dated from 1183 which states that the land was granted from the Bishop of Durham to Walter De Roth.[2][3]
In 2004 the electoral ward of Grindon was changed to include Thorney Close and is now known as the Sandhill Ward.
Pennywell Road is the location of the well-known independent school Grindon Hall Christian School.
