About Fencing in Gateshead

Gateshead sits directly across the Tyne from Newcastle, linked by a series of distinctive bridges including the tilting Millennium Bridge, and has transformed its riverside area with landmarks like the Sage music centre and the Baltic art gallery, both converted from former industrial buildings. Away from the regenerated Quayside, the wider borough spreads through varied residential neighbourhoods towards the Team Valley and beyond.

Types of Materials found in Gateshead

Gateshead's eastern hills sit on predominantly sandstone bedrock, giving generally firmer ground than areas further west, where Coal Measures sandstone, shale and coal seams dominate, historically mined extensively across the borough. Above this bedrock, most residential ground is glacial boulder clay, common across the wider Tyne and Wear area, which holds water and can drain slowly after sustained rain. Ground closer to the Tyne itself includes glacial sands and gravels deposited along the valley floor.
