High Spen
Village
High Spen is an old mining village in the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead, historically part of County Durham, England. First recorded in 1379 as a small hamlet called ‘Spen’, the settlement grew in the latter half of the 19th and early 20th centuries with the growth of coal mining in the region.
Hamsterley
Village
Hamsterley is a village in County Durham, England. It is situated to the north of Consett and borders the hamlet of Low Westwood. The name Hamsterley possibly derives from the Old English ‘hamstra’, meaning a corn weevil and ‘ley’ meaning clearing, hence a clearing frequented by corn weevils, perhaps indicating the poor quality of farming in the area. Hamsterley is situated 1½ miles south of St John the Evangelist.
