Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in North Shields

North-shields Worktop Information

North Shields is a town in the Metropolitan Borough of North Tyneside, on the north bank of the River Tyne at its mouth, about 8 miles east of Newcastle upon Tyne. NE29 covers the main North Shields town including the Fish Quay, the older residential streets of Tynemouth Road, and the post-war housing of the outer areas. NE30 covers the adjacent and more premium residential area of Tynemouth to the south-east, with its clifftop Prior's Haven, the ruined Tynemouth Priory, and the significant stock of Victorian and Edwardian seaside villas. The Fish Quay area of North Shields has undergone significant regeneration and the combination of riverside character and Tyne views makes the NE29 waterfront addresses among the most distinctive in the borough. The northern NE29 residential streets have a more standard post-war and Victorian terrace character, while NE30 Tynemouth has a premium market driven by the coastal setting, the village character around the Front Street, and the Tynemouth Priory landmark.
