About

Lobley Hill and Bensham form a residential ward situated directly across the River Tyne from Newcastle city centre. The area is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with some modern developments. Its topography is varied, featuring the steep incline of Lobley Hill itself alongside the flatter streets of Bensham closer to the river. This creates a distinct separation between the two neighbourhoods within the shared ward.

The area is well-connected by several major roads, including the A184, and is served by the Gateshead Stadium Metro station. Bensham is notable for its long-established Orthodox Jewish community, one of the largest in the UK outside London, with several synagogues and kosher facilities. The ward also contains Saltwell Park, a large Victorian park with a restored Gothic revival mansion, providing a significant green space for local residents.
