About

North Jesmond is a residential ward situated directly north of the city centre, bordered by Jesmond Dene to the east. The area is characterised by tree-lined streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, often converted into flats. It contains a mix of long-term residents and a large student population due to its proximity to Newcastle University. Osborne Road serves as a central thoroughfare with a concentration of bars, restaurants, and local shops catering to this demographic.

The ward is defined by its access to expansive green spaces, most notably the Town Moor to the west. The residential streets are quiet and primarily consist of family homes and converted properties. A key feature is the historic Armstrong Bridge, a Victorian iron structure that carries a road over Jesmond Dene, providing a distinctive entrance to the wooded valley below. The area functions as a popular residential suburb with easy access to both the university and the city centre.
