North Tyneside, Metropolitan borough in Tyne and Wear, England
North Tyneside stretches along the North Sea coast with sandy beaches, incorporating towns such as Wallsend, North Shields, and Whitley Bay within its boundaries.
The metropolitan borough formed in 1974 through the merger of several areas including Tynemouth, Wallsend, Whitley Bay, Longbenton, and parts of Seaton Valley.
The region maintains strong industrial traditions through manufacturing sites, shipyards, and marine facilities while developing new economic sectors in technology and services.
The Tyne and Wear Metro system connects seventeen stations throughout North Tyneside, providing direct access to Newcastle and surrounding metropolitan areas.
