About

Simonside and Rekendyke is a residential ward in the eastern part of South Tyneside, primarily situated on the south bank of the River Tyne. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, including older terraced homes and more recent developments, alongside industrial and commercial estates. Its geography is defined by the steep incline of the Tyne escarpment, which separates the riverside areas from the higher ground.

The ward contains the historic Simonside Hall, a 19th-century mansion set within its own grounds, which provides a distinct green space. Rekendyke itself is a locality with a strong industrial heritage tied to the river. The area is directly connected to the wider borough by the Tyne Tunnel approach roads, which run through the ward, influencing its layout and traffic flow.
