Deckham is a suburb of Gateshead, bordered by Low Fell, Felling & Sheriff Hill.

It is situated on the B1296 Old Durham Road which is a former route of the famous Great North Road.

Although Deckham was once a separate settlement in its own right, Gateshead has grown to such an extent that it is no longer readily recognisable as an area in its own right. It's only distinguished from the surrounding area by a row of shops.

Deckham is home to a thriving Community Centre called the Elgin Centre which encompasses Route 26 Community Project, Deckham Children's Centre and Gateshead council.
