Consett’s name is a bit of a mystery. The earliest record is ‘Conekesheued’ in 1183 and although the second part of the name means ‘head’ the meaning of the first part is unknown. ‘Head of the Con’ or ‘Head of the Cunek’ looks like a possible explanation but the only local river or stream with this name is the Cong, a burn which enters the Wear at ...
In the Boldon Buke of 1183, an Arnold Pistor held Consett in exchange for Tursdale. Later much of the manor of Consett was the property of a family called Grey throughout much of the medieval era. Half of the manor became the property of the Middletons around 1481 but was purchased by Henry Anderson in 1572 while the other half became the property ...
It was in 1841 that the ironworks was established at Consett by the newly formed Derwent Iron Company. The works opened on the wild moors of the Consett country estate, with the land being especially purchased by a local man and banker Jonathan Richardson for the development of the new enterprise. Richardson would receive the royalties from its act...
Consett iron works had been open for less than a decade when it became clear that the mined iron ore reserves were insufficient and of increasingly poor quality. By 1852 the works began focusing on importing ore from the Cleveland area. What kept the works going was the high quality and relatively inexpensive coking coal available nearby as well as...
In the late nineteenth century, Consett Ironworks peaked under the leadership of General Manager, William Jenkins who was in charge from 1869 up until his death in 1895. This seems to have been the glowing heyday for the ironworks and the thriving community of Consett. One remarkable event in Consett’s annals occurred in December 1879 when Consett ...
The pleasant Blackhill and Consett Park separates the town of Consett from neighbouring Blackfyne and Blackhill to the north and northwest. The park was created and laid out by the Consett Iron Company in 1891 on reclaimed land and was gifted to the people of Consett and Blackhill. It should not be confused with the house called Consett Park that o...
The southeastern parts of Consett called Delves, Delves Lane and Templetown developed mostly in the twentieth century. On the 1850s map the Delves area was called ‘Delfts’ and was home to little more than a smithy. The word ‘delft’ could mean mine, quarry, pit or ‘ditch’. There were quarries nearby and also a colliery. A Delves Brickworks operated ...
Leadgate, northeast of Crookhall near the eastern side of Consett is sometimes thought to have acquired its name from a toll gate on a lead ore transporting route from Weardale to the Tyne but the name is first recorded as ‘Lydgate’ in 1404 and actually derives from an old word ‘hlid’ meaning ‘swing’, so the name means ‘swing gate’. Leadgate’s prin...
Along Dere Street (which becomes the A691) half a mile south of Leadgate towards Lanchester is Iveston, a village situated just off that road. Old spellings of Iveston suggest it was Ifa’s of ‘Ifi’s stone’ (stan) and was possibly a boundary stone of some kind. Ifi is a name also recalled at Ivesley, another place on Dere Street, near Esh Winningto ...
Cycle paths that follow old railway routes are certainly an important feature of the countryside just to the south of Delves and Templetown. Lydgetts Junction about half a mile to the southwest of Delves on the outskirts of Consett is an important focal point or ‘hub’ for cycling routes. The C2C – coast-to-coast cycle route running east to west par...
