- Windy_Nook abstract "Windy Nook is a village in the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England. It is bordered by Carr Hill to the west, Leam Lane Estate to the east, Felling to the north and Sheriff Hill to the south. It lies on steep, sloping land 2.25 miles (3.62 km) south of Gateshead, 2.75 miles (4.43 km) south of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne and 12 miles (19 km) north of the City of Durham. According to the 2001 UK census, the population was 2,628. Formerly part of Heworth, it was constituted in 1843 and was formally incorporated into the newly formed Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead by the Local Government Act 1972 which took effect on 1 April 1974. It is governed locally and nationally by the Labour party.It has a long industrial history, with evidence of milling and pottery in the area. The principle industry, however, was stone quarrying, and the initial settlement grew as this industry flourished. By the turn of the 20th century, several quarries operated in Windy Nook and the largest, Kell's Quarry, provided the sandstone and grindstone used to build St Alban's Church, a Grade II listed building and principle landmark in the village, which was consecrated on 25 August 1842.The decline in industry during the 20th century saw the population fall to pre-industrial levels. Though today an urban suburb, there are no large commercial areas and the new Tesco store is comfortably the largest employer. There remains large areas of green space, however, and it is a popular and high-demand place to live. Residents compare favourably with others in the borough in terms of income, employment levels and educational qualifications.Residents can enjoy Windy Nook Nature Reserve at Stone Street, which is a protected wildlife area, as well as one of the largest environmental sculptures in Europe. Perhaps the most notable resident of the settlement was Mary Elizabeth Wilson; a serial killer known colloquially as 'the merry widow of Windy Nook', though Joseph Hopper, founder of the aged mineworkers scheme, and John Oxberry, one of Gateshead's most prominent historians, both hailed from the village.".
