Wrekenton Tyne and Wear Map

About Wrekenton

Wrekenton, a quiet corner of Tyne and Wear, carries the subtle scent of damp earth and distant industry. It lies 3.8 km north-west of Washington (from Washington: bearing 324°T, OS grid NZ 276 591), and is situated north-west of Springwell village. The land here, gently rolling, often catches the diffused light of the North East, lending a soft, almost melancholic glow to the scattered housing and the remnants of older ways. One can almost feel the ghosts of coal seams beneath the surface, a reminder of the district's industrious past that has shaped Wrekenton's character. The roads, unhurried in their traverse, lead past modest gardens where the hardy blooms of the region offer splashes of colour against the greys and greens. It is a place where the sky feels wide, a canvas for the passing clouds that drift across the northern expanse.
