A small North Tyneside village

This Murton is a small village within North Tyneside, near Backworth and Wideopen, not to be confused with the larger, similarly-named former colliery town of Murton in County Durham to the south. Like its Tyneside neighbours, its character reflects the wider area's mix of old village cores and 20th-century suburban growth.
