Wynyard Estate has some of the most expensive houses in the North East, as well as the most expensive road in Teesside. [3] Wynyard Park is home to several gated communities, the main one being the Manorside development, a collection of 27 self-built executive homes. [4]

History

Until the 1990s, the area now making up the village of Wynyard was the grounds of Wynyard Hall estate, owned by the Marquess of Londonderry. In 1987, the hall and its ground was bought by Sir John Hall, [5] who decided to develop housing on the grounds of the estate, with the housing estates of Wynyard Village, Wynyard Woods and Wynyard Park being built.

Land north of the A689 in Wynyard, previously been used on a commercial basis by Samsung, was acquired in 2005 by Chris Musgrave, a Hartlepool businessman. It was developed into new housing and parkland. [6] Wynyard Business Park was constructed on the eastern edge of Wynyard; a 2005 proposal to build a hospital there did not succeed and was scrapped in 2010. [7]

Governance

On 1 April 2019 the parish of Wynyard, Stockton-on-Tees was formed, with the former parish of Grindon divided into two parishes of Grindon and Thorpe Thewles and Wynyard. [8]

Wynyard Parish Council (Hartlepool) was formed in May 2022; prior to its creation, the Hartlepool portion of Wynyard was in the civil parish of Elwick. [9]

Economy

On the eastern side of Wynyard is Wynyard Business Park, in which a Burger King and Sainsbury's are expected to open in 2025. [10]

Transport

Wynyard is served by two main arterial roads: the A689 running east to west from Hartlepool to Bishop Auckland, and the A19 (north/south) leading to Middlesbrough and Stockton-on-Tees to the south and Tyne and Wear to the north.

Wynyard railway station was open from 1880 to 1931, serving the sparsely-populated area before the construction of Wynyard village. After the line was closed and the tracks lifted, the line through Wynyard came under the control of Durham County Council who converted it into the Castle Eden Walkway cycle path, part of the Wynyard Woodland Park. [11]

Demographics

In the 2021 United Kingdom census, the population of Wynyard Parish, Hartlepool was 1,109. The population of Wynyard Parish, Stockton-on-Tees, was 3,180. [1]

Education

Wynyard has a primary school, Wynyard Primary School, [12] which opened in 2015. [13]

Sport

Wynyard has a golf club, Wynyard Golf Club, on Wellington Drive. [14] The course was built in 1996 alongside the building of the Wynyard Estates development and was designed by Martin Hawtree. In June 2019, a major redevelopment of Wynyard golf club was granted permission. The redevelopment includes a 150 bed luxury hotel and a sporting academy. [15]

Wynyard railway station was a railway station on the Castle Eden branch of the North Eastern Railway (NER) from 1880 to 1931. It was located immediately to the south of the bridge carrying the Hartlepool to Sedgefield road and served little more than a few scattered hamlets, including Embleton and Swainston. Despite its name, the station was poorly situated for Wynyard Park which was better served by the neighbouring station at Thorpe Thewles.
