About

Backworth & Holystone is a ward in North Tyneside primarily defined by its residential communities and green, open spaces. The area encompasses the historic mining village of Backworth, with its traditional terraced housing, and the more modern, expansive housing developments of Holystone. Large tracts of reclaimed land, including the Rising Sun Country Park, provide significant recreational areas and wildlife habitats on the urban fringe.

The ward is characterised by its mixture of old and new, where former colliery sites have been transformed into community assets. A notable local feature is the preserved Backworth Colliery winding engine house, a landmark of the area's industrial heritage. Major roads like the A19 and A1056 run through, connecting these suburbs to wider North Tyneside and Newcastle upon Tyne.
