Blaydon-on-tyne
The town of Blaydon-on-Tyne is located in the North East of England in the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead. It was originally in County Durham. As recorded in the 2011 Census, the town has a resident population of approximately 15,000, which is a considerable increase from the around 14,648 people recorded in the 2001 Census. Blaydon had an extensive programme of housing regeneration between 2009 and 2014. This incorporated the construction of new developments at High View near to the Winlaton-Blaydon border, by the riverside on the location of the former Stella South power station, and at Axwell Gardens, near to the already present Axwell Park estate. Initially, the powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution in Gateshead, Blaydon's traditional business is coal mining. Due to the decline of mining in the 1950s and 1960s, Blaydon now has a much more diversified economy. Lots of the town's residents are involved in engineering and manufacturing, as well as having a small amount of commuting professionals. Many organisations work in the offices in Blaydon Haughs, often called 'The Spike', which is within the banks of the River Tyne. There are lots of shopping opportunities for residents in Blaydon's shopping centre, known as the precinct. A brutalist structure from the 1970s, it incorporates a lot of the town's major retailers, which are mainly branches of commercial chain stores, together with food and grocery outlets. The town is also the location of a range of landmarks. Stella Hall, dating back to 1143 when there was a nunnery on the site, is a listed building, and Anxwell Hall, built in 1761, is to undergo conversion into residential apartments. For all your home upgrades, be certain that you pick reputable professionals in Blaydon-on-Tyne to make sure you get a fantastic quality service.
