Places in the north east you'd never heard of

Station town, sounds like a place straight out of a Mad Max film...

Bishop Auckland I think .......pulled a pub down and built some new houses the estate is called pottery bank now ?

@Butcher's Coat - Canney Hill apparently, but it all seems to be Cockton Hill

Pottery Bank is right in the estate near Shildon Station

Would it be right to assume that the big city in Canada was named for the original place in Durham because the explorer who got naming bagsies was from there?

Imagine if he'd been from Tow Law

Obviously could be a short thread if you've still never heard of them, but Kyo was a new one on me today

Also spotted wackerfield near Barney

I went to school in Kyo. It was New.

Which itself was known as co-operative villas at one point.

Only when the council tried to rename it and the locals told them to bugger off.

West Herrington is where the Stackyard and the Stables is.

Despite it being north

I can't think of any places I've heard of. Mainly because I've never heard of them. I could probably name some that some people here have never heard of.

High Stables.

There must be thousands of places in the North East that I have never heard of . However owing to that simple fact I am unable to name any of them.

No way I was in there Sunday night, doubt I'd recognise him now their bairn was just a baby when they moved. He wasn't as bad as the dad mind, droopy dog we called him
