Information about words in this company name or address

sigma

The name of sigma, according to one theory, may continue that of Phoenician Samekh. According to a different theory,its original name may have been "San" , while "Sigma" was a Greek innovation that simply meant "hissing", based on a nominalization of a verb.
In handwritten Greek during the Hellenistic period , the epigraphic form of Σ was simplified into a C-like shape. It is also found on coins from the fourth century BC onwards. This became the universal standard form of Sigma during late antiquity and the Middle Ages. It is today known as lunate sigma , because of its crescent-like shape.

It is still widely used in decorative typefaces in Greece, especially in religious and church contexts, as well as in some modern print editions of classical Greek texts. The forms of the Cyrillic letter С and Coptic letter sima are derived from lunate sigma.

whickham

Whickham is a town in North East England, four miles south west of Newcastle upon Tyne and four and a half miles west of Gateshead. Whickham is part of the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead. Its postal address is Whickham, Newcastle upon Tyne. Whickham is situated on high ground overlooking the River Tyne and the MetroCentre. It has a population of 16,263.
Whickham is a middle class living town, with many social, cultural and business activities. This has always been the case. From the Romans to early English settlement to the Norman Conquest, agriculture, the Anglo-Scottish wars, the rise and fall of the coal and iron industries, the Reformation, the dawn of railway transportation, electoral reform, twentieth century war to suburbia, these great historical themes have influenced life in Whickham.

The parish, which contains the ancient townships or quarters of Swalwell and Whickham, and part of Fellside, is bounded on the north by the Tyne, on the west by the parishes of Winlaton and Stella, on the south-west and south by Lamesley and Marley Hill and on the east by Dunston. The ancient parish also included Lowside or Dunston, which was formed into a distinct parish in 1872, and that part of Fellside which includes the villages of Marley Hill and Sunniside, which now form part of the township of Marley Hill. The parish priest is Revd. Barry Joseph Abbott.

The village underwent some expansion in the 50s when the so called Lake District Estate was built just off Whickham Highway then later in the decade the Oakfield Estate just off Whaggs Lane was built. However house building in the early 60s truly transformed the village into a small town. Grange Estate began the seemingly unending development by Bell the builder which went on into Clavering Park, Clavering Grange, the Cedars and then Fellside Park. Schools followed but there is some debate that the real spirit of the village was lost when the main street of Whickham was demolished.
