About

Throckley and Newburn are situated in the western outskirts of Newcastle upon Tyne, bordering Northumberland. The area is characterised by residential streets, local shopping parades, and green spaces like Throckley Dene. Historically a centre for coal mining and industry, it retains a strong sense of its past while functioning as a modern suburb. The landscape is marked by the River Tyne and the former route of the Wylam Waggonway, an early railway.

A key local feature is Newburn Haugh, a large riverside meadow popular for walking and recreation. The area includes Newburn Leisure Centre and the remains of Newburn Hall. It is home to the site of the Battle of Newburn Ford, a significant 17th-century conflict. The industrial heritage is visible in structures like the old mill, and the community is served by several primary schools and regular bus links into Newcastle city centre.
