Sandyford is a small district in central Newcastle upon Tyne. It represents the north-eastern border of central Newcastle, with the suburbs of Jesmond to the north and Heaton to the east.
Population
[edit]Similarly to neighbouring Jesmond, Sandyford is home to a large number of students because of its close proximity to Newcastle University and Northumbria University.
Architecture
[edit]Sandyford's housing stock is mostly red brick Victorian terraced housing, and many of these are Tyneside flats. Towards the south-east, the residential streets run steeply downwards to Jesmond Dene.
In the south of Sandyford, there are some light industrial business buildings, including offices and small warehouses.
Transport
[edit]Sandyford is serviced by the Tyne and Wear Metro, with the nearest station being Jesmond Metro station.[1]
