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.
