More information about Blyth

Blyth is a town located in Northumberland, in the United Kingdom. It is situated on the coast of the North Sea and is managed by the borough of Blyth Valley. It has a population of approximately 37,000 and is part of the East Tyneside conurbation. It is a key port town and an important centre for industry, business and finance, with strong links to the car, finance and motorsport industries.

History of Blyth

Blyth has a long and intriguing history, stretching back over 2000 years. It was first recorded in the 11th century and was initially a small fishing port. As the centuries passed it grew in both size and importance and by the late 18th century it was one of the largest harbour towns in England. It was here that local shipwrights and fishermen learnt their crafts, often hauling in the famous 'Blyth Herring'.

In the 19th century Blyth prospered with the Industrial Revolution. The town saw the growth of numerous industries, including coal mining, brewing, brick-making, engineering and shipbuilding. During this period it was also one of Britain's main ports for coal exports. This led to a rapid increase in the town's population, as more people moved to Blyth to work in the various booming industries.

Blyth and the Car Industry

Today Blyth remains an important centre for industry and business, with several car companies based in and around the area. The most prominent of these is the world-famous Jaguar Land Rover, which has a large manufacturing facility in nearby Halewood. The company first opened the site in 1997, and it now employs over 2000 people, making it one of the largest single employers in the region.

In addition to Jaguar Land Rover, Blyth is also home to several other car-related businesses, including engine and bodywork specialist Lenham Cars and truck-maker Scania. These companies contribute significantly to the economy of the town and help make Blyth one of the key towns in Northumberland for car and automotive related businesses.

The finance sector also contributes to the town's economy and employment, with over 3,000 people employed in the sector in and around Blyth. This makes Blyth one of the major employment hubs in the region when it comes to the financial services industry.

Rockingham Motor Speedway is the UK's largest banked oval racing circuit, and is located in nearby Corby in Northamptonshire. The track has been in operation since 2001, and regularly hosts international events, such as the British Touring Car Championship and the annual Race of Remembrance.
