Abundant Life And Growth - Revival in Hetton-le-Hole, Houghton-le-Spring and Chester-le-Street Houghton was a pleasant old-world village when it was visited by the pioneers, and the cause there was of little account compared with those at the Raintons, Shiney Row, and adjacent villages. From not having a suitable place, the society at Houghton was much crippled for many years; but a building was got in 1855, when Joseph Dixon was at the front, and in the early seventies a substantial church was built, since which time extensive additions have been made to it. John Phillipson was superintendent when the division took place, and he went with the Houghton people, George F. Johnson becoming superintendent of the parent circuit. www.vision.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk /revival/abundlif.html   (3751 words)

Durham Miner Project - Houghton-le-Spring - A Short History The addition ‘le spring’ comes from it being held in 1311 by Albreda, the widow of Lord Henry Spring, rather than it describing the settlement as being by a spring, although that has led to misunderstandings because being beside a spring became a more fashionable interpretation in the 19th century. To the north-west are Houghton Tile Sheds, and Flint Mill further west. The 1856 map shows Houghton Colliery, on the terminus of the Houghton Branch of the Lambton Railway. www.durham-miner.org.uk /miner/projects.nsf/0/a8d4c09aa7919e1b80256eba00389199?OpenDocument   (507 words)
