Description
The earliest reference to Winlaton is in Boldon Buke (1183 survey of land belonging to the Bishop of Durham, Hugh du Puiset) , where it was coupled with Barlow. At the time of Hatfield's Survey in the late 14th century it was held by Lord Nevill. The Nevills continued to hold Winlaton until 1569 when it was sold to a group of Newcastle merchants with coal-mining interests. The plan in the mid-19th century there was a rough burgage layout south of Front Street, and the north side had a narrow row of houses in front of Back Street.
