Preston with Preston Grange

Preston lies on the north bank of the River Tyne, forming part of the borough of North Tyneside. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing from different periods. Its position offers direct access to the river's edge and the wider network of paths along its banks. The local landscape is gently sloping, with views opening towards the water and the opposite shore.

The Preston Grange ward encompasses this riverside community, extending inland. It includes the local primary school and community centre, which serve as focal points. A notable local landmark is the historic Preston Cemetery, with its distinctive entrance archway and mature trees. Daily life here is connected to nearby North Shields for broader amenities and transport links, including the Tyne Ferry.
