newton aycliffe

Newton Aycliffe is a town in County Durham, England. Founded in 1947 under the New Towns Act of 1946, it is the oldest new town in the north of England. The government asked William Beveridge to produce a report on what he wanted Britain to be like after the war. In 1942 he produced his report. Five giants, he said, oppressed mankind - Poverty, Disease, Homelessness, Ignorance and Unemployment. To end this, once and for all, Beveridge proposed a state system of Social Security benefits, a National Health Service, council housing, free education and full employment. He called it the Welfare State. The Welfare State was brought in all over Britain in 1948, but Beveridge chose one place especially which he wanted to be the shining example of how his new world would work. The moors between Aycliffe and Middridge were perfect - there was a huge ordinance factory that was no longer needed for the war, and there was plenty of poor farmland to build on.
Prior to the Newtown development, Aycliffe was the site of a Saxon settlement. The name Acley came from the Saxon words: ''Ac'', meaning oak, and ''ley'', meaning ''a clearing''. Aycliffe was the location of a church synods in AD 782 and AD 789. Another old name was ''Yacley''. The town''s motto is Latin for "Not the Least, but the Greatest we seek".

To the south of the town is the village of Aycliffe. Newton comes from ''New Town''. On the edge of the town is the Bishop Auckland to Darlington railway branch line which is part of the 1825 Stockton and Darlington Railway. George Stephenson''s steam locomotive Locomotion No 1 was placed on the rails close to Newton Aycliffe near to where Heighington station is. Within a 10-mile radius are several towns and villages including Darlington, Bishop Auckland, Shildon and Heighington.
There are no "streets" in Newton Aycliffe . The main road which runs through the centre of the town is ''Central Avenue''. There are many Roads, Closes, Crescents and even a Parade. In the older parts of the town the streets are named after Bishops of Durham and Saints: Van Mildert ; St. Aidan''s ; Biscop . Some are named after prominent local families; Shafto , Eden , and Bowes for example. Even named after the movers and shakers of the New Town Movement such as Lord Lewis Silkin and Lord Beveridge . Second phase of building saw the end of roads, ways and crescents, instead whole areas were named after trees; Beech Field; Oak Field; Ash Field and Elm Field. The third part of building took place in three phases, Agnew 1, 2, and 3. These were named after the architect.
