Hexham and the places nearby.
Hexham is an abbey and market town in the Tyne Valley, comfortably off, with a good share of Newcastle commuters and a wide rural hinterland of farms and stone villages reaching towards Hadrian's Wall. Many households are in older stone property, and customers expect care and local knowledge. Distances in the surrounding countryside are long. A website that says plainly how far up the valleys you travel, and shows work on older buildings, tends to win over the local customers who shop around carefully.
