About

Horsley Hill ward occupies the southern coastal fringe of South Shields, with its residential streets extending inland from the prominent headland of Trow Point. The area is primarily composed of terraced and semi-detached housing, with local shopping facilities concentrated along Horsley Hill Road. The topography slopes gently towards the North Sea, offering open views across the water from several vantage points.

The ward's defining characteristic is its direct access to the Leas, a vast expanse of coastal grassland and clifftop paths managed by the National Trust. This open space separates the residential area from the sea, providing a long, sweeping promenade for walking. The remains of military installations at Trow Point, including a rare disappearing gun emplacement, are a specific historical feature embedded in the landscape.
