Welcome to Tyne Dock

Tyne Dock is a small area located in the town of South Shields in Tyne and Wear, England. It is situated on the south bank of the River Tyne and is known for its historic significance as a major port for coal exports during the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, Tyne Dock is a bustling commercial and industrial area, with a range of businesses and facilities that serve the local community.

One of the most notable features of Tyne Dock is its large dockyard, which was originally built in the 1850s to accommodate the growing demand for coal exports. The dockyard was expanded over the years and played a key role in the development of the local economy. Today, the dockyard is still in use and is home to a number of businesses, including ship repair and maintenance companies, as well as a large container terminal.

In addition to its industrial heritage, Tyne Dock is also home to a number of residential areas, including the popular Westoe Village. This historic neighborhood is known for its beautiful Victorian architecture and charming streets, and is a popular destination for visitors to the area. Other notable landmarks in Tyne Dock include the Customs House, a historic building that now serves as a cultural center, and the South Shields Museum and Art Gallery, which showcases the history and culture of the local area.
