Gateshead is a major town in Tyne and Wear, positioned directly across the River Tyne from Newcastle city center and connected by the famous Tyne Bridge and Millennium Bridge. The area features diverse housing from Victorian terraces in Bensham and Low Fell to modern developments around the Quayside and established suburban areas like Whickham and Ryton.
