About

Chirton is a residential area in the borough of North Tyneside, north-east England. Much of the housing dates from the 19th and early 20th centuries, with rows of terraces alongside later pockets of council and private housing. The street pattern includes the narrow back lanes and short yard spaces that are characteristic of Tyneside terraces, reflecting the area's development for workers tied to local industries. A ward of the borough carries the same name and local maps show the compact, mostly urban footprint of the neighbourhood.

Everyday life in Chirton revolves around a handful of small shopping parades, primary schools and community halls, with buses linking into the wider borough. Small public green spaces and an established allotment site provide places for gardening and local events; the allotments sit on a long, narrow strip of land used by residents for many decades. Community groups run seasonal activities and the area has a number of churches and clubs that act as focal points for neighbourhood networks and local projects.
