About

Pelaw, Felling Shore and Bill Quay sit along the south bank of the River Tyne in the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead. Pelaw contains a Tyne and Wear Metro station that provides regular services into Gateshead and Newcastle, and the local streets are a mix of terraced and semi‑detached housing with small shops and community facilities nearby. Felling Shore occupies a narrow riverside strip with stepped access down to the bank, and Bill Quay curves eastward where housing meets riverside open land and allotments used by local gardeners and groups.

The river and its paths shape daily life here: walkers, anglers and commuters use the riverside route that follows the Tyne, and small craft are launched from informal slipways at low tide. Industrial traces remain in the layout of roads and clusters of light industry, now interwoven with residential streets and community centres. Local primary schools, a few pubs and convenience shops serve the neighbourhoods, and bus and metro links keep the area connected to central Gateshead without leaving the riverside setting.
