- "BEBSIDE, a township in Horton parish, Northumberland; on the Blyth railway, 2¾ miles W of Blyth. It has a [railway] station, and extensive iron-works. Population: 53."
Bebside was a township in the ancient parish of Horton and became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 it was part of Tynemouth Rural District. In 1912 the civil parish was transferred to Blyth Urban District/Municipal Borough and then in 1920 Bebside was abolished completely and the area absorbed into the civil parish of Blyth.
