Self Storage in Sunderland - Serving Wearside, Washington & the North East

Our Colima Avenue store sits on Sunderland Enterprise Park, adjacent to the A1231 Wessington Way and within easy reach of the A19. We serve customers across Hylton, Castletown, Southwick, Pennywell, Pallion, Washington, and Sunderland city centre. The nearby Hylton Retail Park - home to Smyths Toys, Aldi, B&M, Matalan and others - is within walking distance.

Sunderland is a city with a remarkable history of industry and innovation. For much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Sunderland was the largest shipbuilding town in the world - at its peak, the yards along the River Wear were launching more ships than anywhere else on earth. That legacy is honoured at the National Glass Centre on the banks of the Wear, which celebrates the city's long tradition of glassmaking alongside contemporary art and design. The city's heritage is also visible at Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens in Mowbray Park, one of the best free museums in the North East. The Stadium of Light - home of Sunderland AFC and one of the largest football grounds in England - sits on the site of the former Wearmouth Colliery, connecting the city's industrial past with its modern sporting identity.

The Northern Spire bridge, which opened in 2018 and is the first new bridge across the River Wear in Sunderland for 40 years, has become an iconic landmark connecting the north bank near our store with the south bank at Pallion. The University of Sunderland and the ongoing regeneration of the city's waterfront and city centre make Sunderland one of the most actively developing cities in the North East.

Whatever brings you to us - a house move, a business need, or simply running out of space - we're here to help. Free on-site parking, drive-up access, and no long-term commitment.
