About

Bede ward encompasses the western residential suburbs of South Shields, primarily the areas of Whiteleas and Horsley Hill. It is bordered by the A1300 to the north and stretches toward the coast. The housing is largely composed of post-war estates, with a mix of semi-detached homes and terraced streets. Public green spaces are integrated throughout, including playing fields and smaller recreational grounds.

The ward is served by several local shopping parades catering to daily needs. A notable feature is the large, modern South Tyneside District Hospital situated within its boundaries, which serves as a major local employer. The landscape includes gentle slopes leading down toward the North Sea, with some residential streets offering distant coastal views. Transport links are provided by local bus routes connecting to South Shields town centre.
