Wolverhampton was also a medieval-period "staple town".

Field Marshal Earl Haig of Bemersyde was granted the title 'Freeman of Wolverhampton' on 16th October 1919. He died in London, aged 66, on 29th January 1928 and is buried at Dryburgh Abbey, near Dryburgh in the Scottish borders.

Tintwistle, in Longdendale, also has a reservoir in its vicinity.

The 'twistle' element in Tintwistle's name derives from an Old English term meaning 'confluence', and is also found in Haltwhistle and Twizel, both in Northumberland.

Etal in Northumberland also lies on the line of the River Till.

Hauxwell was also once administered by the Wapentake of Hang West.

Penshaw, Tyne & Wear, is also associated with a worm legend (in this context the worm is a form of dragon)

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Owing to its proximity to Durham City, the area was allocated a Durham postcode (DH4), which forms part of the Houghton-le-Spring post town.
