Consett, County Durham

Flower Delivery to Consett by Clare Florist

Found less than 15 miles from Newcastle Upon Tyne and located in County Durham, Consett is a town that is home to over 27,000 people.  The town is located high on the Pennines and way back in the 1840s, few would have predicted how big the area would become. The village community initially had a population of 145 people but there were a number of factors which led to Consett being regarded as a boom town.

There was limestone, blackband iron ore and coking coal all found in the local area. These components were all the encouragement that was needed to fire up the furnaces for the production of iron and steel.

The town is found on the River Derwent and it is said that this area was the main player in the steel industry of Britain. With coal being shipped easily and quickly from Newcastle and iron being imported in from Sweden via the nearby Newcastle Upon Tyne port, this was the key area in the country for the production of steel. However, in the 19th century, the realisation that steel can be furnished from iron ore in Britain ensured that the advantage that Derwent Valley, and Consett, had disappeared. This led to Sheffield becoming the leading UK location for steel production and Consett went into decline.

Consett is found close to the Derwent Reservoir area and this contains a number of bars, pubs, restaurants, shops, night clubs, estates and industrial areas. There are also a number of villages that have sprouted up around this main area. A lot of pubs in the area have taken their name from the steel-making history of the area. Consett is also the place where you will find the Empire Theatre which is one of the oldest theatres in County Durham. When there are no live pieces taking place, the venue doubles up as a cinema.
