Red Hall & Lingfield

About

Red Hall & Lingfield is a residential ward located in the northern part of Darlington. The area is primarily composed of housing estates developed in the late 20th century, featuring a mix of detached and semi-detached homes. It is bordered by the A1150 to the west and open countryside to the north. The ward includes the local amenities of Red Hall Primary School and the Lingfield Point business park, which occupies a former industrial site.

The landscape is characterised by straight residential roads and cul-de-sacs, with several small greens and recreational spaces integrated into the design. A notable feature is the presence of the West Cemetery, a large Victorian burial ground that forms a significant green corridor on the ward's southern boundary. This area provides a contrast to the newer housing and serves as a local walking route, connecting to other parts of the town.
