Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Blaydon-on-Tyne

Blaydon-on-Tyne Worktop Information

Blaydon-on-Tyne is a town in Gateshead, on the south bank of the River Tyne, about 5 miles west of Newcastle upon Tyne and 4 miles north-west of Gateshead town centre. The NE21 postcode covers Blaydon and the adjacent settlements of Winlaton, Winlaton Mill, Stella, and Ryton in the Derwent valley to the south. Blaydon is nationally associated with the folk song Blaydon Races, written by Geordie Ridley in 1862, which describes a chaotic excursion to a horse race meeting at Blaydon Island on 9 June 1862. The song has become the unofficial anthem of Newcastle United Football Club and of Tyneside generally. Winlaton to the south of Blaydon has a more elevated and open character than the river-level Blaydon town and some of the better residential streets in NE21 are in the Winlaton direction. Ryton, in the outer NE21 area, has a village character and some of the highest property values in the postcode. The housing stock spans Victorian terraces in the older Blaydon streets, interwar and post-war semis across the NE21 residential areas, and some newer development.
