New Washington (area)
New Washington was a settlement prior to the development of the New Town of Washington from 1964. Most of New Washington became part of Concord Village within the new town.
New Washington is a straggling village, partly in this and partly in Usworth Township, and has lately been improved by the addition of a terrace of neat stone houses. It is one mile and a quarter north from Washington village. Many of the inhabitants of this village are employed at the Usworth colliery. Usworth station, on the Leamside branch of railway, is just over a mile from here, to the east.
