Woodham, County Durham

Woodham, County Durham

Woodham is a popular residential area within Newton Aycliffe, to the North East of the main part of the town.

Built on the site of what was once Woodham Farm, it was designed and developed in the early 1980's around a community centre, church and a parade of shops overlooking a central green. The Huntsman Public house is also situated on the same central green, whilst the Woodham Golf and Country Club lies a short way to the North of the main development, on the road to Rushyford.

Newton Aycliffe, in common with many of the post war "New Towns" consisted originally of mostly social / public housing, a large proportion of which is now privately owned. Woodham is the largest of a number of private housing developments that have taken place since the late 1970's, to the North of Woodham Burn; which at one time formed a natural Northern boundary to the town of Newton Aycliffe.

Neither Woodham Burn Infant / Junior schools or Woodham Community Technology College - [http://www.woodham.org.uk Website] are actually in Woodham, though they lie in close proximity, to the South of Woodham Burn.
