Information about words in this company name or address

hexham

Recorded in several spellings including Hexham, Hexam and Hexum, this is an English locational surname. It originates from the town of Hexham in the county of Northumberland, and is one of the most ancient of all known places in the British Isles. The first known surviving recording is in the spelling of "Hagustaldesham", meaning the house belonging to Hagustald. This is in the famous Anglo-Saxon Chronicles of the year 681 a.d. whilst the town is also recorded by the earliest English historian, the Venerable Bede of Jarrow writing in about the same period although he spelt it as "Hagustaldensis ecclesia". The place name is not however Old English but Old British, predating the arrival of the Romans in the year 54 a.d. The surname is not however anything like the age of the town. Surnames were not generally introduced into England and Scotland until about the year 1300, but thereafter they spread rapidly and by the time of the reign of King Henry V111 (!510 - 1547) everybody had one which would be recognizeable today. In this case examples of recordings from the church registers of Northumberland include Ann hexham of Berwick on Tweed on May 23rd 1593, Alix hexham who married Peter Gosling at the same place on February 28th 1602, and Isabella Hexham who was christened at Wallsend near Newcastle, on October 5th 1809.

haltwhistle

Haltwhistle is a small town and civil parish in Northumberland, England, situated 10 miles (16 km) east of Brampton, near Hadrian''s Wall, and the villages of Plenmeller, Rowfoot and Melkridge. It has a population of 3,811.

Well constructed, stone-built houses are still a feature of central Haltwhistle, and though there are none outstanding architecturally the general appearance of the groups is harmonious. The houses were built of local stone, but with the railway, other materials could be brought in.
Haltwhistle was probably in existence in Roman times, as it is one of the closest approaches of the River South Tyne in its upland reaches to Hadrian''s Wall. The old Roman road or Stanegate passes just two miles to the north of the town.

The development of the town was based on its position on the main Newcastle to Carlisle road and on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway line.

The expansion of Haltwhistle in the 18th and 19th centuries was due to coal mining in the area and to a lesser extent the use of Haltwhistle as a loading point for metal ores coming from the mines on Alston Moor. In 1836 while some workmen were quarrying stone for the Directors of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, on the top of Boreum, a high hill in the township of Thorngrafton and Parish of Haltwhistle, one of them found a copper vessel containing 63 coins, 3 of them gold and 60 copper. The gold coins were, one of Claudius Caesar, reverse Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus; one of Nero and one of Vespasian.

The town is served by Haltwhistle railway station on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, also known as the Tyne Valley Line. The line was opened in 1838, and links the city of Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear with Carlisle in Cumbria. The line follows the course of the River Tyne through Northumberland.

Passenger services on the Tyne Valley Line are operated by Northern Rail and First ScotRail. The line is also heavily used for freight. The railway station is on the south side of the town close by the River South Tyne.

Until 1976 the railway station was also the northern terminus of the branch line to Alston, in Cumbria, the line was thirteen miles in length. Part of the southern end of the Haltwhistle to Alston line has been reopened as a two foot narrow gauge railway, known as the South Tynedale Railway, between Alston and Kirkhaugh.

Road
The A69 trunk road which links Carlisle and Newcastle on Tyne formerly passed south of the town centre and through the western part of the town until a full bypass was opened in 1997.
