Peterlee and the places nearby.
Named after a Durham miners' leader, Peterlee was built as a new town for the colliery villages of the East Durham coast, and its modernist Apollo Pavilion is a well-known landmark. The pits have gone, leaving close-knit former mining communities around it and plenty of estate housing. Customers value honesty and fair prices, and recommendations spread quickly. Businesses here tend to serve Horden, Easington and the Blackhall villages as much as the town, so they should name those explicitly.
Seaham (5 miles), Sedgefield (9 miles), Durham (10 miles) and Ferryhill (10 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Hartlepool (7 miles) and Sunderland (10 miles) are also close. A longer drive takes in Billingham (11 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Within Peterlee itself, we build for businesses in Horden, Easington Colliery, Shotton Colliery, Blackhall Colliery, Castle Eden, Acre Rigg and Eden Hill.
From our base in Exeter, Peterlee is about 294 miles to the north. Its postcodes start SR.
