About Tyne Dock

Tyne Dock, located in South Shields, Tyne and Wear, is a historically significant neighbourhood named after the large dock established in 1859 by the North Eastern Railway to export coal. Once a bustling hub for coal transport, handling up to seven million tons at its peak, the dock's operations declined in the late 20th century, leading to the demolition of the iconic Tyne Dock Arches starting in 1977. Today, the area has been transformed, with the dock progressively infilled to accommodate modern storage warehouses, culminating in the recent infilling of 13 acres to support the construction of the second Tyne Tunnel.

Property prices in Tyne Dock show an average sale price of £158,256, based on 50 recent transactions recorded by HM Land Registry. There are currently no active flood warnings for the Tyne Dock area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.

In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (May 2026). This makes Tyne Dock a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
