Tyneside is the industrial and postindustrial conurbation located along the north and soyuth banks of the [[River Tyne]] in north-east [[England]]. It comprises areas that were formerly in the traditional counties of [[Northumberland]] and [[County Durham]], but from 1974 in the metropolitan county of [[Tyne & Wear]]. Tyneside is conventionally described as the four northern authority areas in Tyne & Wear: [[Newcastle upon Tyne]] and [[North Tyneside]] on the north bank of the river, and [[Gateshead]] and [[South Tyneside]] on the south bank. Tynesiders are informally known as [[Geordies]]. the population of Tyneside is around 800,000.
