Wingate
Wingate is a village in County Durham, England. Wingate is a previous pit town with a mixture of 19th-century, post-war, as well as extra current housing developments. It was originally inhabited by around 30 farmers before 1839 when coal was discovered. It is located in the East of County Durham, three miles south west of Peterlee, and also seven miles north west of Hartlepool. Just like the majority of towns in the area, it proliferated with the development of coal-mining in the area. The name Wingate is claimed to derive from the Anglo-Saxon words windig (windy) as well as geat (road) meaning gusty road. Like all County Durham villages, locals are understood to speak the pitmatic dialect although brand-new housing developments has seen a sharp increase in the town's population. An electoral ward in the exact same name exists. This ward extends north eastern to Peterlee and has an overall population, taken at the 2011 census, of 10,302.
