wooler

Wooler (pronounced /ˈwʊlər/ WOOL-ər) is a small town in Northumberland, England.
Wooler was not recorded in the Domesday Book, probably because when the Book was written in 1086, northern Northumbria was not fully under Norman control. However, by 1107, at the time of the creation of the 1st Baron of Wooler, the settlement was described as "situated in an ill-cultivated country under the influence of vast mountains, from whence it is subject to impetuous rains". Wooler subsequently enjoyed a period of prosperity and with its expansion it was granted a licence in 1199 to hold a market every Thursday. The Saint Mary Magdalene hospital was established around 1288.

Wooler is close to Humbleton Hill the site of a severe Scottish defeat at the hands of Harry Hotspur in 1402. This battle is referred to at the beginning of Shakespeare''s play Henry IV, part One - of which Hotspur is the dashing hero.

Wooler also used to have a Drill Hall that used to be the local "Picture House" that children were evacuated to in World War Two. There also used to be a fountain situated at the top of Church Street in the town.

Alexander Dalziel of Wooler (1781-1832) was the father of the celebrated Dalziel Brothers. Seven of his eight sons became artists, and as engravers in London there was no one to touch them. Their sister Margaret was also an engraver.

Between 1887 and 1965 the town was served by Wooler railway station on the Alnwick to Cornhill Branch.
