Teams Tyne and Wear Map

About Teams

The River Tyne forms a significant natural boundary to the north of Teams. It lies 1.6 km south-west of Gateshead (from Gateshead: bearing 236°T, OS grid NZ 241 619). Historically, Teams was a vital industrial hub, particularly known for its shipbuilding and engineering heritage, with the Tyne providing crucial access for trade and manufacturing. The landscape around Teams is a blend of urban development and green spaces, reflecting its evolution from an industrial centre to a more residential suburb. Evidence of its industrial past can still be seen in the remnants of old docks and warehouses along the riverfront, though much has been redeveloped for housing and leisure. The cultural character of Teams is shaped by its working-class roots and its proximity to the larger urban centres of Gateshead and Newcastle.
