Description
The earliest reference to Barlow is in Boldon Buke (1183 survey of land belonging to the Bishop of Durham, Hugh du Puiset) , when it was listed with Winlaton, and it seems to have remained just a hamlet in the township of Winlaton. In plan it is very long and straggly, lying on rising ground (137 to 167 m) on a road from Winlaton. By the 19th century it seems to have been a colliery village, and it still retains farms, and other stone houses, of - this period on the main street.
