Notes

Note

Westoe was originally a village a mile south of South Shields, and was gradually absorbed into the urban sprawl extending from the centre of Shields at the end of the niineteenth century.

In contemporary usage the term "Westoe Village" refers to a specific quiet suburban East-West road in the Westoe area. It consists of Georgian and Victorian houses, many being built by Victorian business leaders in South Shields, including those who owned mines and shipyards. It is considered the most exclusive area in South Shields.
