Faverdale history

---

There is evidence for prehistoric, Iron Age and medieval activity at Faverdale. Up to the mid twentieth century the area was completely rural. The area began to be developed industrially in the interwar period. The Wagon Works was established in the 1920, to produce freight wagons for the NER.

Future

An additional commercial development, a 60 acres (0.24 km) industrial and logistics park, “Faverdale 58”, proposed by St. Modwen Properties in 2008, is at a planning stage. The site is located west of the Bishop Auckland branch line, with potential rail access.
