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.

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

The building reopened as The Tighes Hill School of Arts Gallery in January 2009.

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.
