Birtley’s housing and gardens
Birtley’s mix of older terraced streets and later estate housing gives it a similar range of garden sizes and tree cover to many of the towns we cover along this stretch of Tyneside and County Durham, more modest plots on the traditional terraces, larger gardens on the town’s later development.
On the Gateshead and Durham border
Birtley’s position right on the county boundary means we treat it as one connected market rather than splitting it between Gateshead and County Durham coverage, and it’s a regular part of our work in this part of the region.
A resilient community with a strong history
Birtley’s wartime industrial past, including the significant contribution of Belgian refugee workers to munitions production during the First World War, is a genuine point of local pride, and the town’s residents tend to take real care of their homes and gardens as a result of that settled, long-standing community feel.
