About

Blaydon South is a residential district situated on the south bank of the River Tyne, directly opposite the town of Blaydon itself. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, primarily interwar and post-war semi-detached and terraced homes, with some modern developments. It functions as a commuter area for both Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne, with good road links via the A1. The local landscape includes several small greens and the gentle slopes leading down towards the river.

A notable local feature is the substantial Winlaton Mill industrial estate, which provides significant employment within the area's boundaries. The district is served by local shops and amenities along Chainbridge Road. The nearby River Derwent flows into the Tyne here, creating a confluence visible from parts of the area. Recreational space is provided by the extensive paths and open ground along the riverbanks, which form part of the wider Tyne Riverside Country Park network.
