More about Washington in Tyne and Wear
Washington is a former village in the county of Tyne
and Wear in North East England. Washington is part of
the City of Sunderland and is located some 10 miles
(16km) west of the city centre, and is roughly the same
distance south of Newcastle upon Tyne. At the 2001
census, it had a population of 55,454.
Washington was designated a new town in 1964 and
expanded dramatically by the creation of new villages
and the absorption of areas of Chester-le-Street to
house overspill population from surrounding cities.
The main shopping centre is 'The Galleries', an indoor
complex housing local shops and services, and the ASDA
and Sainsbury (previously known as SavaCentre)
supermarkets. It was officially opened in 1974 by
Princess Anne. A large area of parkland extends south
from 'The Galleries' and is known as Princess Anne Park.
Historically, Washington was heavily involved in the
coal industry with a number of pits. One of these in the
Albany district of Washington is preserved as the 'F'
Pit Museum (pits in Washington were named alphabetically
e.g. the 'F' Pit). A number of the old communities of
Washington grew up around the pits (e.g. the modern area
of Usworth partly grew up around the Usworth mine and
the area was known as Usworth Colliery (and still is to
some of the older generation). In support of the mines
there was a series of waggonways and later railway lines
to transport the coal. The waggonways took coal to
staithes on the River Wear where it could be loaded onto
barges to be taken to the ocean going vessels at
Sunderland.
Washington was also involved in the chemical industry
and the Washington Chemical Works was a major employer
in the 19th Century. This later became the Cape/Newalls
works producing insulation. The Pattinson Town area of
Washington grew up around the chemical works. This area
is now Pattinson industrial estate and Teal Farm housing
estate.
Currently, Washington's main industries include
textiles, electronics, car assembly, chemicals and
electrical goods. The Nissan automotive plant is a major
employer in the town, although the factory itself is
just outside the town boundary and lies in Sunderland
itself. Nissan is the largest private-sector employer in
the City of Sunderland.
Washington with 55,000 inhabitants may be the most
populous town in Great Britain to have no railway
station. (The second most populous such town may be
Corby with 53,000 inhabitants.) Proposals to extend the
Tyne and Wear Metro to Washington have failed to attract
government support. There is a bus station next to The
Galleries. Major roads run through Washington, with
connections to the A1.
