Information about words in this company name or address

woodland

Whilst this surname may seem obvious in its meaning, it nethertheless has a long and honourable history. That it is a locational name is beyond argument. It derives from the pre 7th century a.d. Olde English ''wode-londe'' translating as ''at the woodland'' or perhaps ''the glade in the wood''. Curiously perhaps there are at least four villages in England called ''Woodland''. In fact it is almost certain that the surname derives from one of the villages, and probably the one near Ashburton in Devon. Certainly the coat of arms was granted to the Woodlands of Woodland, Devon, and this is a good indication of origin. Early examples of the surname include Cicely de la Wodeland in the fifty second year of the reign of Henry 111 , whilst Peter de Wodelands appears in the Somerset Rolls of 1316. An interesting recording is that of Peter Woodland, described as a ropemaker, who sailed to Barbados on the ship ''Virgin of Hampton'' of 60 tonnes burthen, on March 30th 1640. Presumably he made it because in the church register of St Michael''s Parish, Barbados for July 25th 1679, is the christening of ''Mary, ye daughter of John Woodland''. The coat of arms has the blazon of a silver field, a black bend charged with three bucks heads attired in gold. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Henry de Wudeland, which was dated 1195, in the Pipe Rolls of Lincolnshire, during the reign of Richard 1, known as ''The Lionheart'', 1189 - 1199.

2. of or pertaining to those commonly engaged in dealing with money and credit.
In economics, a financial market is a mechanism that allows people to buy and sell financial securities , commodities , and other fungible items of value at low transaction costs and at prices that reflect the efficient-market hypothesis.

Both general markets and specialized markets exist. Markets work by placing many interested buyers and sellers in one "place", thus making it easier for them to find each other. An economy which relies primarily on interactions between buyers and sellers to allocate resources is known as a market economy in contrast either to a command economy or to a non-market economy such as a gift economy.

darlington

Darlington is a town in the ceremonial county of County Durham, England, and the main population centre in the Borough of Darlington. Darlington has a population of 97,838 as of 1997. On 1 April 1997, the Borough of Darlington became a unitary authority area, which separated it from the non-metropolitan county of Durham for administrative purposes.
Darlington is known for its associations with the birth of railways. This is celebrated in the town at Darlington Railway Centre and Museum. The world''s first passenger rail journey was between Shildon and Stockton-on-Tees via Darlington, on the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825.

The town later became an important centre for railway manufacturing, with three significant works. The largest of these was the main line locomotive works, known as North Road Shops, opened in 1863 and closed in 1966. Another was Robert Stephenson & Co. , who moved to Darlington from Newcastle upon Tyne in 1902, became Robert Stephensons & Hawthorns in 1937, were absorbed by English Electric around 1960, and closed by 1964. The third was Faverdale Wagon Works, established in 1923 and closed in 1962, which in the 1950s was a UK pioneer in the application of mass-production techniques to the manufacture of railway goods wagons.
To commemorate the town''s contribution to the railways, David Mach''s 1997 work "Train" is located alongside the A66, close to the original Stockton-Darlington railway. It is a life-size brick sculpture of a steaming locomotive emerging from a tunnel, made from 185,000 "Accrington Nori" bricks. The work had a budget of £760,000.
The Great North Road, now known as the A1, used to run directly through the centre of Darlington. The road has since been diverted to the west of the town; the original route is now the A167 via North Road in the town centre. The £5.9 m five-mile A66 Darlington Eastern Bypass opened on November 25, 1985 and is currently undergoing major reconstruction in an effort to reduce congestion at rush hour. The Darlington Eastern Transport Corridor, linking Central Park north-east of the town centre to a new roundabout on the A66, was opened in the summer of 2008. The A1 Darlington Bypass opened in May 1965.
