Wingate
Wingate is a village in County Durham, England. Wingate is a previous pit village with a combination of 19th-century, post-war, and much more current housing developments. It was initially populated by around 30 farmers prior to 1839 when coal was discovered. It is located in the East of County Durham, three miles southern west of Peterlee, and 7 miles north west of Hartlepool. Just like many towns in the location, it proliferated with the advancement of coal-mining in the area. The name Wingate is stated to stem from the Anglo-Saxon words windig (windy) and geat (road) definition gusty road. Like all County Durham towns, citizens are known to talk the pitmatic dialect although brand-new housing developments has actually seen a sharp increase in the town's population. A selecting ward in the very same name exists. This ward extends north eastern to Peterlee as well as has a total population, taken at the 2011 census, of 10,302.
