About

Blaydon ward sits along the Tyne's southern bank, encompassing the historic market town of Blaydon itself and the neighbouring settlements of Winlaton and Stella. The area is defined by its industrial heritage, with former steel and coal sites now largely redeveloped into modern business parks and housing. The landscape transitions from urban centres to open riverside paths and wooded valleys like the Derwent Walk Country Park.

A central feature is the famous Blaydon Races ground, commemorated in the Geordie anthem. The weekly market continues a long tradition of local commerce. Residential streets mix Victorian terraces with newer estates, while the A1 road corridor forms a significant transport and employment axis. The area maintains distinct community identities within its larger ward boundary.
