Walkergate
Walkergate takes its name from Walker, a district east of Newcastle city centre stretching along the north bank of the Tyne; the name "Walker" is recorded as early as the thirteenth century and is generally linked to the area's marshy land near the line of Hadrian's Wall, close to Wallsend and the Roman fort of Segedunum. For centuries a rural riverside settlement, Walker was transformed by industry from the early 1700s, when a number of collieries operated in the area, moving coal down to the Tyne for shipment via dedicated wagonways. Shipbuilding later became just as significant, with the Armstrong Whitworth yard on the riverside growing into one of the Tyne's major shipyards, building both merchant and naval vessels through two world wars before shipbuilding on the Tyne went into decline in the later twentieth century. Housing development reflected the area's industrial growth: Walkerville, begun in 1908 and championed locally by councillor David Adams, was one of the region's early garden-suburb-style developments, offering workers' cottages with gardens rather than the dense terraces typical of earlier industrial housing.
Over time the wider area came to encompass distinct neighbourhoods including Walkerville, Walkerdene and Pottery Bank. With the decline of coal and shipbuilding, Walker's economy and housing stock faced significant challenges in the later twentieth century, prompting regeneration programmes from the early 2000s aimed at renewing housing and creating a new local centre. Today the area is served by Walkergate Metro station and includes green space such as Walker Park and Walker Riverside Park along the Tyne, alongside a library and community facilities. For residents, Walkergate and the wider Walker area remains a proud, close-knit part of Newcastle's East End with a strong industrial heritage, ongoing housing renewal, and riverside green space that recalls its shipbuilding and mining past.

Reviews From Walkergate And Nearby
“Took everything I could not lift myself.”
Old washing machine, a wardrobe, half a garden shed. Two of them had it all out in under an hour.
Angela M. — Walkergate
“Recycled almost everything, only a small amount went to landfill.”
I liked that they told me where things were actually going rather than just saying "we'll sort it."
