Plains Farm

Plains Farm (known locally as Plainsy) is a suburb of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England, and is a council-built housing estate, erected in the 1940s.

Neighbouring areas include Silksworth, The Barnes, Thorney Close, Springwell and Farringdon.

The housing in the area is run predominantly by Home Group and Gentoo Sunderland.

These lands are also home to the Russel Foster League squad, Plains Farm FC and Humbledon Youth FC which is also based in the local Plains Farm area[2] The slightly high, chunky roadside kerbs in Plains Farm are ideal for the playing of a game known locally as 'kerby', particularly in the squares (cul-de-sacs) where the distance between the pavements is optimum, and serious traffic is unlikely .

However Plains Farm is a sporty place to live as it involves football,a local tennis team(silksworth)and others which include the likes of snooker, pool and darts
