Information about words in this company name or address

westgate

Recorded in the spelling of Westgate and the dialectal Wesgate, this is an English surname of two possible origins. Firstly, it may be a topographical name for a person who lived by the west gate of a city, derived from the words "west", meaning west and "gate", which can mean either a gate or a road. Secondly the name can be locational from actual places called Westgate; as in County Durham, recorded as "Westyatshele" in 1457; or in Northumberland, recorded as "Westgate", in 1216, whilst Westgate-on-Sea in Kent, is recorded as "Westgata" in 1168 in the Pipe Rolls of that county. In this case, the placename describes a gate leading to the sea. William de Westgat was recorded in the Curia Rolls of Surrey in 1199, whilst on February 4th 1543, John Wesgate married Katherine Baswell at St. Martin Orgar in London, whilst Joane Westgate married William Trotter at St. Peter''s, Cornhill, also London, on April 16th 1548. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Peter de Westgate of Canterbury, which was dated 1198, in the "Pipe Rolls of Kent", during the reign of King Richard 1, known as "The Lionheart", 1189 - 1199.

south shields

South Shields is a coastal town in Tyne and Wear, England, located at the mouth of the River Tyne to Tyne Dock, and about 4.84 miles downstream from Newcastle upon Tyne. The town has a population of 82,854, and is part of the metropolitan borough of South Tyneside, which includes the riverside towns of Jarrow and Hebburn and the villages of Boldon, Cleadon and Whitburn. South Shields is situated in a peninsula setting, where the River Tyne meets the North Sea. It has six miles of coastline and three miles of river frontage, dominated by the massive piers at the mouth of the Tyne. These are best viewed from the Lawe Top, which also houses two replicas of cannon captured from the Russians during the Crimean War, the originals having been melted during World War Two.

The town slopes gently from the Cleadon Hills down to the river. The Cleadon Hills are made conspicuous by the Victorian water pumping station and a now derelict windmill which can be seen from many miles away and also out at sea.

tyne & wear

Tyne and Wear is a metropolitan county in North East England around the mouths of the Rivers Tyne and Wear. It came into existence as a metropolitan county in 1974 after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972. It consists of the five metropolitan boroughs of South Tyneside, North Tyneside, City of Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and the City of Sunderland.

North Tyneside and Newcastle upon Tyne had previously existed within the historic county of Northumberland, whereas South Tyneside, Gateshead and Sunderland were all previously within the borders of County Durham, with the River Tyne forming the border of the two counties.

Tyne and Wear is bounded on the east by the North Sea, and as a Ceremonial county, shares borders with Northumberland to the north and County Durham to the south.

Tyne and Wear County Council was abolished in 1986, and so its districts are now effectively unitary authorities. However, the metropolitan county continues to exist in law and as a geographic frame of reference.
