From the Wikipedia article
Doxford Park (known locally as Doxy Park) is a suburb of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, located to the south-west of the city centre. Once part of the historical township of Silksworth in the Middle Ages, Doxford Park consisted of agrarian land and a manor before being constructed into a modern housing estate in the 1960s. Surrounded by the A19, the suburb now houses one of the city's largest business districts, the Doxford International Business Park.

Background
History
The area that is now Doxford Park and the surrounding suburbs was part of the historical township of Silksworth of which was a part of Bishopwearmouth. It was composed of farmland which ultimately belonged to the church, as did neighbouring Farringdon. Its modern name was derived from the Doxford Family who later acquired the land and the historic Doxford Hall. The Doxford family were pivotal in Sunderland's maritime and engineering history, founding Sunderland's shipyard William Doxford & Sons.
