Tighes Hill, New South Wales

Tighe's Hill (/taɪɡz/) is a north-western suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales and was named after A.A.P.

Tighes Hill developed from the construction of a bridge over Throsby Creek at the opening of the Ferndale Colliery in 1877.

In April 1894, a tram line was opened to Tighes Hill which extended to Mayfield in 1901.

5 Sparke Street was sold for $1.5 million which set the highest home price in the history of Tighes Hill so far.

The Newcastle Campus of Hunter Institute of TAFE, which was also the original campus of the University of Newcastle, forms the western side of Tighes Hill,[5] while its eastern side (along Hannell St) is an emerging commercial precinct located on former industrial land.
