About

Northgate is a central ward in Darlington, located directly north of the town centre. The area is primarily residential, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with some modern developments. It contains several local schools and green spaces, including the grounds of the former Northgate Hospital. The ward is bounded by the River Skerne to the west and the East Coast Main Line railway to the east, defining its physical limits.

The area is historically significant as the site of the original Northgate railway station, which served the town before the current Darlington station was built. This industrial heritage is a key part of its identity. Northgate provides convenient access to the town's retail and business core while maintaining a distinct, quieter neighbourhood atmosphere. Its streets form a grid pattern typical of planned Victorian expansion.
