Sunniside Tyne and Wear Map

About Sunniside

Sunniside, a village in the Gateshead district, carries a quiet dignity in the North East landscape. It lies 2.4 km south of Whickham (from Whickham: bearing 176°T, OS grid NZ 210 588), and is situated west of Street Gate village. The gentle slopes that cradle Sunniside often catch the afternoon sun, bathing the scattered houses and their well-tended gardens in a soft, golden light. Though its origins are rooted in the agricultural rhythms of the Tyne Valley, evidence of a more industrial past can still be glimpsed in the sturdy brickwork of older buildings, hinting at a time when the land provided not just sustenance but also the raw materials for enterprise. The air here, especially on a crisp autumn morning, seems to hold a certain clarity, a reflection of the open skies that stretch across the surrounding fields. Sunniside’s character is one of steadfast resilience, a place where the present quietly acknowledges the past without being burdened by it.
