About

West Boldon sits in the borough of South Tyneside, Tyne and Wear, as part of the cluster of Boldon villages. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of older terraced streets and later housing estates. Local facilities include a primary school, a community centre, shops and a handful of pubs. Public green space and playing fields are woven into the village plan, and a network of public footpaths runs from the settlement into surrounding farmland and pockets of scrubland that mark the edge of the urban area.

The village’s shape and street patterns reflect its 19th- and 20th-century links to the local coal industry; the growth of housing and community buildings followed pit development nearby. Community life centres on local clubs, the school and seasonal events held on village land. Everyday travel and services are provided within the South Tyneside area, and the village serves as a residential base for people working across the borough.
