Information about words in this company name or address

oakwood

A surname.
There are many English place names begining with Ac, Ack, Oak and Ock, showing the importance of the oak tree to early society. There are at least twelve places in the current gazetters of England, showing villages of that name mainly in the south east of England. On that basis the surname could have originated from any one of them, but in fact it is much more likely to have come from a place that has now disappeared completely. Some three thousand of these villages form what are known collectively as the "Lost Medieval Villages." These are places which have disappeared from the maps of England over the past five centures. It was when this happened, usually because of changes in agricultural practices, although plagues played their part, that the original inhabitants scattered to the four winds. When they finally settled in another place, as strangers the easiest way to identify them as still happens today, was to call them by the name of the place from whence they came. Recorded as Ackwood, Oakewood and Oakwood, early examples of recordings include Kathryn Oakewood who married James Mill at All Hallows church, London Wall, on March 4th 1604, whilst John Ackwood married Elizabeth Messenger at the church of St Peter le Poer, city of London, on February 23rd 1647.

seaham

Seaham, formerly Seaham Harbour, is a small town in County Durham, situated 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Sunderland and 13 miles (21 km) east of Durham. It has a small parish church, St Mary the Virgin, with a late 7th century Anglo Saxon nave resembling the church at Escomb in many respects. St Mary the Virgin is regarded as one of the 20 oldest surviving churches in the UK. Seaham is currently twinned with the German town, Gerlingen.

The people of Seaham have strong historic ties to Sunderland.
Seaham has fine beaches and easy transport links to the eastern side of the country. From 2001 most of the Durham coastline was designated as a "heritage coast" and Seaham beach was entirely restored. In 2002 the Turning the Tide project won, jointly with the Eden Project, the prize for Outstanding Achievement in Regeneration in the annual Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors awards. Seaham Hall is now a luxury hotel and spa.

In homage to the town''s link to Lord Byron, the new multi-million pound shopping complex, which now includes an Asda supermarket as well as Argos and Wilkinson stores, is named Byron Place. It aims to revitalise the area, using the successful redevelopment of the central shopping district of neighbouring town Peterlee as a benchmark. Asda officially opened on 3 September 2007 and the rest of the shopping centre opened in November 2007.

In 2006, a survey conducted by Halifax revealed that Seaham is the top property price increase hotspot in England and Wales as average prices rose by 172% since 2003. The average price of £117,266 is still, however, well below the national average. It is believed this surge has been greatly helped by regeneration work in the area, and in particular the popular new housing estate East Shore Village, built on the site of the former Vane Tempest colliery.
