About the area

Killingworth

Killingworth's history stretches back to the medieval period, with documentary references to the settlement dating to the thirteenth century, when it was held by the local de Merlay family. For centuries it remained a small rural community until coal mining took hold, and Killingworth Colliery became one of the best-known pits in the region. It was here, in the early nineteenth century, that the pioneering railway engineer George Stephenson worked and experimented, building an early locomotive in the colliery workshop and developing a safety lamp for miners around the same time as Sir Humphry Davy's more famous design. This connection to Stephenson remains a point of local pride and is commemorated in the naming of George Stephenson High School. As mining wound down in the twentieth century, the old colliery land was cleared and, from the early 1960s, redeveloped as one of the North East's planned "new towns," intended to house a substantial new population on reclaimed ground.

The development brought modern, at times architecturally ambitious housing and flats, some of which were later demolished and replaced as tastes and building standards changed. A notable legacy of the land reclamation is Killingworth Lake, formed during the redevelopment and now a popular spot for walking and birdwatching, home to swans and other waterfowl. Today Killingworth is a modern residential and commuter town with its own shopping centre, schools, and leisure facilities, sitting conveniently close to major road links and within easy reach of Newcastle, Cramlington, and the coast. Its housing stock reflects its new-town origins, with a mix of postwar and later-twentieth-century homes alongside more recent estates, giving it a noticeably different character from the older, Victorian parts of North Tyneside nearby.
