Around Washington.
Washington is a new town on the edge of Sunderland, laid out as numbered villages such as Concord, Oxclose and Fatfield around an older village with Washington Old Hall, the ancestral home of George Washington's family. The Nissan plant and its suppliers nearby make it a major employment centre. People think of their own village rather than the town as a whole, so naming them is essential, and customers expect fast, clear quotes.
The nearest town in the same council area is Sunderland (6 miles). Across the boundary into the next council area, Chester-le-Street (3 miles), Gateshead (5 miles), Jarrow (6 miles) and Newcastle upon Tyne (6 miles) are also close. If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Inside Washington, the site can name areas such as Concord, Columbia, Albany, Oxclose, Washington Village, Barmston, Fatfield and Sulgrave.
Washington addresses fall in the NE postcode area, about 300 miles north of Exeter, where we are based.
