Simonside and Rekendyke are residential neighbourhoods in western South Tyneside, sitting on the urban fringe between South Shields and Jarrow. The area is largely made up of post‑war council housing alongside a mix of newer private developments, local shops, schools and small parks, and is a short drive from the River Tyne and the coast.
Like much of the borough, the neighbourhoods have an industrial past tied to shipbuilding and coal on Tyneside and have seen waves of regeneration and community activity in recent years; local sports clubs, community centres and grassroots projects are important to social life. Economically it remains mixed, with ongoing efforts to improve housing, services and employment opportunities while retaining a strong local identity.
