Flower Delivery to Hazlerigg in Tyne and Wear

Less than 30 minutes away by private vehicle from the city of Newcastle Upon Tyne is the village – as well as civil parish – of Hazlerigg. The village sits on the A1 road, the 410-mile road connecting London with Edinburgh in Scotland. Travelling the route takes you through various destinations, such as Welwyn Garden City, Peterborough, Doncaster, Leeds, Durham, Alnwick, Newcastle Upon Tyne, and Berwick-upon-Tweed.

History

Hazlerigg is split by the A1 making each side part of a separate district. The Newcastle side is administered by a parish council while the one on North Tyneside is unparished.

Back in the day, from 1892 to 1964, the village was the site of a colliery. The export of coal brought good fortune to Hazlerigg resulting in the building of miner’s houses. Eventually, that settlement developed the Hazlerigg seen today. The colliery still exists in the west side of the village but it’s now covered by trees.

Another coal mine called the Havannah Drift Mine was opened to the west of Hazlerigg and about a mile away. The mine opened in 1950 but concerns about mining subsidence affecting the runway of Newcastle Airport resulted in its closure in 1977. A number of the buildings used now form part of a plastics factory while a huge portion of the surrounding land is now the Havannah Nature Reserve.

Hazlerigg is about 15 to 30 minutes away from Newcastle Upon Tyne, which in itself has almost everything you could want in a holiday destination. Walking enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the city offers a feast for the eyes, from old architecture to stunning views.
