Smith's Dock

Hands up if you got over excited and packed the winter clothes away already, just in time for the snow and blizzards to hit. Just another day in Springtime when you live in North East England.

2 years since Smith's Dock lit up the quay with an isolation disco in the midst of the first Covid Lockdowns. Credit to Above the Action for capturing this drone footage & the amazing Smith's Dock residents doing an #isolationdisco every night in Spring 2020.

What a weekend that was. A brief glimpse into summer (with coats still firmly on!) and a chance to wipe down the picnic blankets and garden furniture with the most glorious sunshine up and down the #northtynesidecoast. Rain or shine.....just a glorious place to call home.

Don't forget to put your clocks forward one hour tonight....light nights and longer days are finally here at last! #summertime #clockchange #smithsdock #waterfront #rivertyne #northtyneside #northshields #northshieldsfishquay

Twilight on the Tyne. The most peaceful time of day to stroll the waterfront at Smith's Dock and take in the #northshieldsfishquay.

Weekend wanders from Smith's Dock along the #northshieldsfishquay to check out the view and stock up on some fresh seafood. There is always something new to see and experience along the #northtynesidecoast.

This much photographed building on the fish quay will soon be opening its doors as the Molten Gallery and Cafe - selling a truly unique range of delicious artisan gelato. Owner, Henry Amos explains more about what is to come in a short intro film at ow.ly/LqiT50IirUT

Monday morning of dreams today as the sun shines along the Tyne. There is blossom on the trees and the early daffodils are blooming - spring is finally showing signs of breaking through the wind and cold here at Smith's Dock. #springtime #sunshine #mondaysun #northtyneside

The view might have changed but Smith's Dock remains a place that draws its character and long & proud history from the riverside community of the Tyne. #rivertyne #smithsdock #northshields #northshieldsfishquay #northtyneside #northtynesidehistory

Is there a better view than Longsands in the morning? The #northtynesidecoast has not 1, not 2, but 3 Blue Flag beaches. If you're lucky enough to get down early doors then it's just you, the surfers and the cold-water dippers enjoying the peace & quiet on the sands.

Our Fab house had serious style credentials as a classic example of how mid-century furniture and textured materials can blend together so beautifully to create a mature design scheme. #contemporarydesign #interiors #interiorinspo #myhome #midcenturydesign #interiordesign

1st March and sunshine has graced beautiful North Tyneside to remind us that Spring is on the way. #northtyneside #northshields #mouthofthetyne #northshieldsfishquay #rivertyne #northtynesidecoast #smithsdock #riverliving #waterfront

Moody kitchen cabinets at this Fab House at Smith's Dock representing how we all feel about the run of weather we've been having in #northtyneside. The storms can go away now......daffodils have started appearing so surely Spring is officially on the way?

The perfect picture window exists and it's this spot right here. A sun-dappled view of the River Tyne and Smith's Dock from the top floor of a townhouse on the Plateau. #northshields #rivertyne #northshieldsfishquay #contemporarydesign #townhouse #riverliving

Smokehouse 1 & 2 have become such a recognisable part of the quay that it's hard to imagine a time when the row of townhouses on the Plateau didn't end with the unique shape of each building at Smith's Dock. #throwback #construction #newhomes #northshieldsfishquay

Do you say it's blowing a hoolie or a hooley? Either way, it's a bit windy. Think we'll hide out in bed till Spring arrives. Not long now surely? #smithsdock #northshields #northshieldsfishquay #northtyneside #northtynesidecoast #riverliving #newhomes

It's batten down the hatches time again. A fitting saying for a place with such a seafaring heritage but necessary as #stormdudley is on the way with #eunice not far behind. It's been such a windy winter season we're well rehearsed now so stay safe & stay indoors

The fish quay has certainly gone through changes since this photo of fish wives carrying their wares was taken but the lively spirit, wonderful community & unique character of the area will always remain the number one attraction. #smithsdock #northshieldsfishquay #fishquay

A flashback to the serene styling of the lounge space in our Fab House at Smith's Dock. Pastels, light wood and natural materials for a Scandinavian inspired living area that makes the most of the natural light flooding into this home. #homeinspo #smithsdock #scandistyle
