Dunston, Industrial district in Gateshead, United Kingdom
Located on the south bank of the River Tyne, Dunston extends across two sections divided by the A1 dual carriageway in North East England.
The settlement was first documented in 1328, developing from a small farming community into a coal mining and salmon fishing center by the 14th century.
The area produced notable sports figures, including footballer Paul Gascoigne and lead singer of AC/DC Brian Johnson, who both grew up in the neighborhood.
Dunston railway station on the Tyne Valley Line connects residents to Newcastle and other regional destinations through regular train services.
The Dunston Staiths, constructed in the 1890s, stands as the largest wooden structure in Europe, formerly used for loading coal onto ships.
