Horsley Hill was a football and rugby league ground and greyhound racing track in South Shields.

Horsley Hill underwent further development, with new terracing built, covered areas being installed behind the eastern goal and on the northern touchline, whilst the main stand was also extended.

The club's last match at Horsley Hill was played on 3 May 1930, with 1,752 spectators watching a 2–2 draw with Accrington Stanley.

The company stated that the increased construction costs were incurred by club premises and totalisator building necessities and establishing training kennels outside of South Shields.

[7] In 1963 the South Shields Derby was inaugurated with significant prize money and the board invested in new ventures including a new restaurant, a bowling alley, a public house and a Jet filling station garage in the car park.

The winner of the 1963 South Shields Derby was Thimble Rigger trained by Norman Oliver of Brough Park in a time of 24.40.

[7][8] The 1963 plans had gone a little awry resulting in the board seeking state aid to help finish the project due to financial difficulties.
