Wingate
Wingate is a town in County Durham, England. Wingate is a previous pit village with a combination of 19th-century, post-war, as well as extra recent housing developments. It was originally populated by around 30 farmers before 1839 when coal was uncovered. It is located in the East of County Durham, three miles south west of Peterlee, as well as seven miles north west of Hartlepool. Similar to many villages in the location, it proliferated with the development of coal-mining in the area. The name Wingate is said to derive from the Anglo-Saxon words windig (gusty) and also geat (road) meaning gusty road. Like all County Durham towns, citizens are understood to speak the pitmatic language although new housing developments has actually seen a sharp increase in the town's population. A selecting ward in the exact 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.
