Development Information
Location…
Blaydon\'s history lies in mining, but since the decline of the mining industry the area has developed a strong economy built on engineering and manufacturing. The town is the well known origin of the traditional song The Blaydon Races and hosts a 10k road race on the 9 June every year.
It enjoys a prime, central location and is in close commuting distance of many of the region’s major towns and cities including Gateshead, Newcastle and Durham.
