Sunniside Tyne and Wear Map

About Sunniside

Sunniside rests in the quiet embrace of Tyne and Wear's undulating terrain. It lies 0.9 km north-west of Houghton-le-Spring (from Houghton-le-Spring: bearing 319°T, OS grid NZ 334 507), and is situated south-south-west of Newbottle village. The air here often carries a subtle scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a whisper from the surrounding fields that curve away like softly folded blankets. The houses of Sunniside, a mixture of older stone and more recent brick, seem to settle comfortably into the landscape, their gardens often bursting with the vibrant colours of hardy perennials that bravely face the North East's changeable skies. A sense of quiet industry still lingers, a memory of days when coal dust might have been a more common sight than the gentle shimmer of dew on a summer morning. The rhythm of life in Sunniside is one of steady unfolding, much like the slow bloom of a hedgerow in late spring.
