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 much more current housing developments. It was originally lived in by around 30 farmers before 1839 when coal was found. It lies in the East of County Durham, 3 miles south west of Peterlee, and also 7 miles north west of Hartlepool. Just like many villages in the area, it grew rapidly with the development of coal-mining in the region. The name Wingate is claimed to stem from the Anglo-Saxon words windig (windy) and geat (roadway) significance 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 boost in the village's population. An electoral ward in the very same name exists. This ward stretches north east to Peterlee and also has a complete population, taken at the 2011 census, of 10,302.
