Holy Trinity Church, a grade II listed building and its tower is an important local landmark

Its name, as well as those of various streets in the locality, alludes to the support given to the initial construction of North Ormesby, a new town, in the later 19th century by members of the nearby Ormesby-based Pennyman family. The name therefore comes from being in the northern part of the former Ormesby parish.

The neighbourhood has in recent years seen somewhat of a decline, with much of its original housing having long been demolished, partially as allowance for new developments, including, more recently[ when? ], the erection of numerous new buildings and the restructuring of the A66 Redcar to Penrith trunk road which passes through the north of the area.

In October 2017, it was revealed to have the cheapest average house price in England and Wales, at £36,000, down 60% since 2007 (after inflation adjustment). [5]

The neighbourhood was featured as the lead story on BBC News at Six on 12 June 2024 as having one of the worst crime rates in Britain with regular robberies, drug dealing, criminal damage and theft. [6]
