  • Leadgate is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated to the north-east of Consett. The Roman road Dere Street runs straight through the middle of Leadgate, today this is known as Durham Road and the B6309. The place-name 'Leadgate' is first attested in 1590 and derives from the Old English 'hlidgeat', which means 'swing-gate'. The parish church of St Ives was built in 1865–68. The Roman Catholic church of Our Blessed Lady and St. Joseph lies a little way out of the village at Brooms. It was built 1866-69 by E. W. Pugin and served the Irish migrant community. Leadgate was the home of the workers and staff of the Eden colliery which opened in 1844, and was closed on the 18 July 1980. It was also home to many working for the Consett Iron Company (about 2 miles away) and which closed in the 1980s. Leadgate now stands as a small village with a close-knit community. Plans to regenerate the area have been on the local councils' planning board for some time and improvements are being made. The retail economy of Leadgate is centered on Front Street which until the construction of the Leadgate bypass formed one of the main routes from Newcastle into Consett. Front Street hosts a number of independent businesses as well as a local co-operative. The coast-to-coast cycle route runs through Leadgate and follows the path of the former Stanhope and Tyne railway. The last train ran on the line on 17 March 1984. St Ives is the Parish Church. On 17 August 2020 the Bradley open-cast mine, the last coal mine in England, was closed. (en)
  • Leadgate – wieś w Anglii, w hrabstwie Durham. Leży 18 km na północny zachód od miasta Durham i 389 km na północ od Londynu.Starorzymska droga Dere Stret biegnie przez sam środek Leadgate jako Durham Road i trasa B6309. Obecnie przy południowym wjeździe do wsi stoi stylizowany drogowskaz: Nazwa Leadgate użyta została po raz pierwszy w 1590 r. i oznaczała wówczas bujane wrota. Leadgate było domem dla pracowników kopalni Eden otwartej w 1844 r. a zamkniętej 18 lipca 1980 r. przez Margaret Thatcher. Mieszkali tu również pracownicy Kompanii Żelaznej Consett. W niedużej odległości wydobywane i wypalane było wapno, zaś część zabudowy tego miejsca pozostaje atrakcją turystyczną i ważnym rezerwatem nietoperzy oraz ptaków drapieżnych. Przez Leadgate, dokładnie śladem torów zamkniętej 17 marca 1984 r. linii kolejowej Stanhope and Tyne, biegnie ściżka rowerowa Coast to Coast (C2C), łącząca wschodnie i zachodnie wybrzeże wyspy. Nad ścieżka rowerową mieści się na Leadgate Road metalowy most z pocz. XX w. zbudowany taką techniką jak Titanic. Most łączy Leadgate z Consett i, tym samym, Consett z drogą do Newcastle. * Starorzymski drogowskaz przy wjeździe do Leadgate. Durham Rd (Dere Street) * Zabytkowe miejsce wypalania wapna.
