Wingate
Wingate is a town in County Durham, England. Wingate is a previous pit village with a mixture of 19th-century, post-war, as well as more 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, 3 miles southern west of Peterlee, as well as seven miles north west of Hartlepool. Similar to a lot of villages in the location, it proliferated with the development of coal-mining in the area. The name Wingate is said to stem from the Anglo-Saxon words windig (windy) and also geat (roadway) definition gusty road. Like all County Durham towns, citizens are understood to talk the pitmatic language although brand-new housing developments has actually seen a sharp increase in the village's population. A selecting ward in the exact 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.
