Wingate
Wingate is a town in County Durham, England. Wingate is a previous pit town with a mix of 19th-century, post-war, as well as extra recent housing developments. It was initially occupied by around 30 farmers before 1839 when coal was uncovered. 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 the majority of villages in the location, it proliferated with the advancement of coal-mining in the region. The name Wingate is claimed to stem from the Anglo-Saxon words windig (windy) and also geat (road) definition windy road. Like all County Durham villages, homeowners are understood to speak the pitmatic language although brand-new housing developments has actually seen a sharp rise in the town's population. An electoral ward in the very same name exists. This ward stretches north east to Peterlee as well as has a complete population, taken at the 2011 census, of 10,302.
