Black Heddon is situated in the parliamentary constituency of Berwick‑upon‑Tweed. Historically, it was a township in Stamfordham parish and became a distinct entity from 1866. The area’s history is linked to the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, an English railway company founded in 1825. The railway began operating mineral trains in 1834 between Blaydon and Hexham, and carried passengers for the first time the following year. The line was completed in stages, providing a through route between Carlisle and Gateshead south of the River Tyne in 1837. The railway’s eastern end saw several changes of plan, but a line opened from Scotswood to a Newcastle terminal in 1839, later extended to reach Newcastle Central Station in 1851. These historical transport developments have shaped the locality’s development and connectivity within the region.
