Shiremoor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shiremoor ( originally called Tynemouthshire Moor) is a place in North Tyneside. It is served by Shiremoor Metro station, which opened in 1980. Before the railway was converted to form the metro, there was no station at Shiremoor, but there was one instead at Backworth station, some distance from Backworth village.
Shiremoor is not historically a centre of population but many housing estates were built there in the 20th and 21st centuries.
