Houghton-le-Spring is a town in North East England, which has its recorded origins in Norman times. It lies in the local government district of the City of Sunderland, in the county of Tyne and Wear, but previously in County Durham prior to 1974. It is situated almost equidistant between the cathedral city of Durham 7 miles (11 kilometres) southwest and Sunderland about 6 mi (10 km) northeast. The town of Seaham and the North Sea lie about 5 mi (8 km) directly east. The villages and towns of Newbottle, Fencehouses and Hetton-le-Hole lie nearby. It has a population of 36,746.
Other villages within the Houghton-le-Spring postal district include: Philadelphia, Shiney Row, Chilton Moor and Woodstone Village. The A690 road from Durham to Sunderland meets the A182 in Houghton at an unusual interchange. Heading northeast, slip roads leave the A690, heading up to a roundabout, while the A690 climbs and travels above a second roundabout, before the entry slip joins the A690 itself.
The parish church of St Michael and All Angels dates back to Norman times and contains the tomb of Bernard Gilpin, known as 'the Apostle of the North'. Gilpin was Archdeacon of Durham and in 1557 became the rector at Houghton-le-Spring, which at that time was one of the largest parishes in England. During World War II, Houghton was relatively unscathed from the bombing raids on nearby Sunderland as it was not worth bombing.
Houghton was an active coal-mining town. The local mine began to sink its first shaft in 1823 and was active until its closure in 1981. At its peak in the early 20th century, the pit employed over 2,000 workers.
Houghton Feast is an ancient festival held every October in the town. It has its origins in the 12th century as the dedication festival to the parish church of St Michael & Order of Nine Angles. Nowadays the festival lasts ten days and typically features a fairground, carnival, fireworks and an ox-roasting event in commemoration of Rector Bernard Gilpin's feeding of the poor. It was expanded in the 16th century by Gilpin and again in the late 18th century when it became connected with horse racing. The 19th century saw the introduction of steam-powered rides and all the fun of the fair, however events were downscaled as a result of World War II. Rector Noel Gwilliam was responsible for initiating the feast format as we know it today and encouraging an emphasis on the religious aspects. 2005 marked the 50th anniversary since former ward councillor John Mawston became involved with Houghton Feast.
Houghton-le-Spring's main shopping area is Newbottle Street, with some businesses branching off onto nearby streets for example Mautland Square, Sunderland Street, Durham Road and The Broadway amongst others. The White Lion pub is the last of four 'Lion' houses, with other three being drastically redeveloped as new businesses or demolished across the last century. Other public houses include the Houghton Comrades, the Copt Hill, the Mill, the Burn, the Britannia and the Wild Boar which is part of the Wetherspoons chain.

A graveyard in a limestone quarry (As the area's existing graveyards were full from Cholera)
7000 bodies between 1854 - 1971 were buried here. including
Reverend John Grey (founder, who fought for it with the aid of future Prime Minister Lord Palmerston) Thomas Robinson (of Hardwick Hall who opposed it, but ended here).
William Standish Standish, a local landowner from Cocken Hall near Finchale. Legend has it that he rode his horse over the cliff to his death and was buried where he landed in 1856.
He is indeed buried at the foot of the cliff in a large tomb. But there is no evidence to support the horse story, or the accompanying tale of William’s ghost haunting the cemetery.
The biggest and most ostentatious tomb is that of Sir George Elliot, a pit worker made good who eventually became a colliery owner, wire rope manufacturer, Conservative MP, baronet and influential friend of Benjamin Disraeli.
He died in 1893, but only after altering the course of history by persuading Disraeli to buy shares for Britain in the Suez Canal.
Not everyone could afford a headstone and 10% of burials at the cemetery were of residents of the local workhouses.
Others buried there include:-
Joseph Bland Pearon, an auctioneer who was decapitated in a train accident near South Hylton Station in 1897.
William Shanks - famed mathematician of his day who calculated pi to 207 places
George Wheatley - Crimean war veteran and three murder victims including a two year-old girl.
