In the 1960s Newcastle City Corporation took the decision to redevelop the Byker area. Originally it was a Victorian working-class area of densely-built terraces. Much of the housing needed major repair and some was considered unfit for human habitation (many lacked bathrooms), yet most residents wanted to stay in Byker, an area close to industry on the riverside. Newcastle council aimed to clear the slums but keep the community. Architect Ralph Erskine was appointed as the architect in 1969 for the new Byker. The development was run as a "rolling programme" so local people could continue living in the area during the building work. Residents were involved in the design process and it is thought the outstanding success of Byker was as much to do with this as its innovative architecture. New leisure and shopping facilities have been brought to the Shields Road area. There are street wardens operating in Byker to preserve the low level of crime. Education and employment initiatives operate to maintain the high level of economic growth. The central and garden village (South Byker) areas of Byker and the Ouseburn Valley have recently been granted listed status thereby ensuring the preservation of this excellent example of the built environment. Byker was the setting of the BBC TV series Byker Grove. However, the youth club featured in the series was actually The Mitre in the Benwell area in the west end of Newcastle. The British Broadcasting Corporation, usually known as the BBC, is the largest broadcasting corporation in the world in terms of audience numbers, employing 26,000 staff in the United Kingdom alone and with a budget of more than GB£4 billion. ...

Boundary Byker ward stretches from the Fossway and Millers Road in the north of the ward to the banks of the River Tyne in the south.

It turns south down the Ouse Burn to the River Tyne and follows the river east, turning northwards to the west of the properties on The Oval (and excluding the Bakewell Terrace properties). Heading east along Walker Road, the boundary then turns north up Staines Road and continues north through Kingston Avenue.
