Felling Tyne and Wear Map

About Felling

Felling unfolds as a suburb of Gateshead, its character shaped by the gentle rise and fall of the Tyne. It lies 2.5 km east-south-east of Gateshead (from Gateshead: bearing 111°T, OS grid NZ 277 620). The air here, when the wind carries it from the river, can still hold a faint, metallic tang, a whisper of the heavy industries that once defined its spirit. Though the grand furnaces have long since cooled, the legacy of innovation and labour endures in the sturdy brickwork of older homes and the resilient spirit of its residents. The modest green spaces, often catching the soft, pearly light of the North East sky, offer quiet corners for contemplation, where the echoes of past generations seem to settle like dust. Felling's story is one of transformation, from a place of raw power to one of quiet domesticity, yet the underlying strength remains.
