Economy

North Tyneside lies in the coalfield that covers the South-East of the historic county of Northumberland. It has traditionally been a centre of heavy industry along with the rest of Tyneside, with for example the Swan Hunter shipyard in Wallsend, and export of coal. Swan Hunter, formerly known as " Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson " was one of the best known Shipbuilding companies in the United Kingdom. Today most of the heavy industry has gone, leaving high unemployment in some areas (over the borough, 3. 2% compared to 2. 7% for the UK). The borough is the 69th most deprived in England, out of 354. However some parts function as relatively wealthy dormitory suburbs of Newcastle. Recent growth has come in the A19 corridor with new industrial estates and retail parks.
