North Side Tyne and Wear Map

About North Side

The character of North Side is deeply intertwined with the agricultural landscape that surrounds it, a testament to its historical roots. It lies 1.9 km west of Washington (from Washington: bearing 278°T, OS grid NZ 280 563). Historically, North Side would have been part of a network of small hamlets and farms that characterized the rural economy of the region. Today, while retaining a distinctly suburban feel, remnants of this agricultural past can still be observed in the open fields and the layout of some older properties. The proximity to larger centres like Washington means that residents of North Side benefit from access to amenities and employment opportunities, while still enjoying a quieter, more residential environment. The area's development has been gradual, evolving from its rural origins into a modern suburban enclave within the wider Gateshead district.
