Pelaw (pronounced as pe'low'); is a district that forms part of the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead in Tyne and Wear, in north-east England.
It lies in between the older settlements of Heworth to the West and Bill Quay to the East and came into being due to the huge Victorian factory complexes of the CWS or Co-Operative Wholesale Society which was the manufacturing division of the then burgeoning Co-Op company.
These factories created Pelaw and were practically its sole emplyoyer during most of the twentieth century but due to inevitable foreign competition, the prevailing economic climate and government policies of the times, the factories were all closed down and demolished between the mid 70s and early 90s.
