Information about words in this company name or address

albany

this ancient and distinguished surname is of Old French origin, and is a locational name from any of the various places in North France, such as Aubigny or Aubigne , named with the Gallo-Roman personal name "Albinius", a derivative of "albus", white, and the local suffix "-acum", settlement, village. The name was introduced into England by followers of William the Conqueror in the wake of the Norman Conquest of 1066, and has the distinction of being first recorded in the Domesday Book. William de Albini, "the butler d''Aubignie", attended William the Conqueror, and in the reign of Henry 111 , Godfrey Giffard, rector of Attleborough, Norfolk, was presented by one Hugh de Albany. In 1272, William de Albania, or Albany, was recorded in the Book of Fees for Nottinghamshire, and a Walter de Albenay was noted in the Book of Fees for Lincolnshire, also in 1272. Another William de Albini, or D''Aubigny appears in 13th Century Records of Norfolk. Robert Steward , regent of Scotland, was created Duke of Albany in 1398. His name derives from Albany, Albainn or Albin, an ancient name applied to the northern parts of Scotland, inhabited by Picts, and named from the Celtic "alp", rock, cliff. On May 31st 1551, William Albany and Thomasyne Buttell were married at St. Pancras'', London. A Coat of Arms granted to the Albany or D''aubigny family is a red shield with an eagle displayed within a silver bordure. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Nigel de Albini, which was dated 1086, in the Domesday Book of Buckinghamshire, during the reign of King William 1, known as "William the Conqueror", 1066 - 1087.

washington

Washington is a town in the City of Sunderland in Tyne and Wear, England. Historically part of County Durham, it joined a new county in 1974 with the creation of Tyne and Wear. Washington is located geographically at an equal distance from the centres of Newcastle, Durham and Sunderland, hence it has close ties to all three cities.

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.
There are several proposed theories for how the name "Washington" came about. The three most discussed are detailed below. The titles of the three different theories, e.g. "Gaelic origin", are not formal titles, but merely used here to distinguish between them.
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 . A number of the old communities of Washington grew up around the pits . In support of the mines there was a series of wagonways and later railway lines to transport the coal. The wagonways 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. Nissan is the largest private-sector employer in the City of Sunderland.

tyne and wear

Prior to its uniform adoption of proportional representation in 1999, the United Kingdom used first-past-the-post for the European elections in England, Scotland and Wales. The European Parliament constituencies used under that system were smaller than the later regional constituencies and only had one Member of the European Parliament each.

The constituency of Tyne and Wear was one of them.

When it was created in England in 1984, it consisted of the Westminster Parliament constituencies of Gateshead East, Houghton and Washington, Jarrow, Newcastle-upon-Tyne East, South Shields, Sunderland North, Sunderland South, Tyne Bridge, although this may not have been true for the whole of its existence.
