Duston history
Duston has been a settlement since at least Roman times, and grew as a village in Anglo-Saxon times. The name “Duston” derives from Old English words meaning farmstead on a mound or farmstead with dusty soil. From 1876 to 1995 Duston was home to St Crispin’s Hospital, a county-owned and subsequently NHS mental hospital. The civil parish population was 15,498 at the 2011 census.
Industrial history
Iron ore was first quarried in the district in 1854 and 1855 to the east of the village on land leased from Viscount Palmerston and from Duston Church (St Luke’s.) Quarrying finished on the south side of the road in 1905 and 1908. There was also a limestone quarry to the north side of Bants Lane which closed by 1901.
