About

Bedlington Station and Sleekburn form a distinct area situated on the north bank of the River Blyth. The landscape is characterised by former industrial land and newer residential developments. The area is directly served by the East Coast Main Line railway, with Bedlington Station providing a key transport link. The River Blyth and its estuary define the southern boundary, with views across to the port of Blyth.

The area's history is rooted in coal mining and heavy industry, with Sleekburn once housing a large colliery and brickworks. This legacy is visible in the reclaimed land and the course of the old waggonways. A notable local feature is the Plessey Road Woods, a community-managed woodland created on former industrial spoil heaps, offering walking paths and green space amidst this post-industrial setting.
