Wingate
Wingate is a town in County Durham, England. Wingate is a previous pit town with a mixture of 19th-century, post-war, and also much more recent housing developments. It was initially lived in by around 30 farmers prior to 1839 when coal was uncovered. It lies in the East of County Durham, 3 miles southern west of Peterlee, and also seven miles north west of Hartlepool. Just like the majority of villages in the location, it grew rapidly with the growth of coal-mining in the region. The name Wingate is stated to stem from the Anglo-Saxon words windig (windy) and also geat (roadway) definition windy road. Like all County Durham villages, residents are known to speak the pitmatic language although brand-new housing developments has actually seen a sharp boost in the village's population. An electoral ward in the very same name exists. This ward stretches north east to Peterlee as well as has an overall population, taken at the 2011 census, of 10,302.
