You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Leadgate''' is a village in [[County Durham]], in [[England]]. It is situated to the north-east of [[Consett]]. The Roman road [[Dere Street]] runs straight through the middle of Leadgate, today this is known as Durham Road and the B6309.

The place-name 'Leadgate' is first attested in 1590 and derives from the [[Old English]] 'hlidgeat', which means 'swing-gate'.<ref>[[Eilert Ekwall]], ''Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names'', p.291.</ref><ref>((cite book|last=Watts|first=Victor|title=A dictionary of County Durham place-names|year=2002|publisher=English Place-Name Society|location=Nottingham|isbn=0904889653|pages=71))</ref>

The Church of England parish church of St Ives was built in 1865–68 by [[C. Hodgson Fowler|Charles Hodgson Fowler]].<ref>((Cite web |title=Historic England Listing |url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1240559 |access-date=))</ref> The Roman Catholic church of Our Blessed Lady and St. Joseph lies a little way out of the village at Brooms. It was built 1866-69 by [[Edward Welby Pugin|E. W. Pugin]] and served the Irish migrant community.<ref>((cite book|last=Pevsner|first=Nikolaus|title=County Durham|year=1985|publisher=Penguin|location=Harmondsworth|isbn=0140710094|pages=354–55))</ref><ref>((cite journal|last=Duffy|first=Godrey F.|title=County Monaghan immigrants in the Consett area of County Durham, England, 1842-1855|journal=Clogher Record|year=1997|volume=16|issue=1|pages=37–45|doi=10.2307/27699414|jstor=27699414))</ref> Brooms was the birthplace of [[Thomas Smith (vicar apostolic of the Northern District)|Thomas Smith]] (1763-1831), Roman Catholic bishop.

Leadgate was the home of the workers and staff of the Eden colliery which opened in 1844, and was closed on the 18 July 1980.<ref>((Cite web |title=Durham Mining Museum |url=http://www.dmm.org.uk/colliery/e005.htm))</ref> There was a smaller coal mine at Bradley Colliery which seems to have closed before 1875.<ref>((Cite web |title=Durham Mining Museum, Bradley Colliery |url=http://www.dmm.org.uk/colliery/b046.htm))</ref> Leadgate was also home to many working for the [[Consett Iron Company]] (about 2 miles away) and which closed in the 1980s. On the current site of Bradley Workshops there was also the Bradley Iron Works which seems to have operated between 1856 and 1866 being taken over by the Consett Iron Company.<ref>((Cite journal |last=Marley |first=John |date=1857 |title=Cleveland Ironstone. Outline Of The Main Or Thick Stratified Bed, Its Discovery, Application, And Results, In Connection With The Iron-Works In The North Of England |journal=Transactions of the North of England Institute of Mining Engineers |volume=v |pages=165–223))</ref>

Leadgate now stands as a small village with a close-knit community.  Plans to regenerate the area have been on the local councils' planning board for some time and improvements are being made.

The retail economy of Leadgate is centered on Front Street which until the construction of the Leadgate bypass formed one of the main routes from Newcastle into Consett. Front Street hosts a number of independent businesses as well as a local co-operative.

The coast-to-coast cycle route runs through Leadgate and follows the path of the former Stanhope and Tyne railway. The last train ran on the line on 17 March 1984.<ref>((cite web |url=http://railwayman9419.fotopic.net/ |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-03-13 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100621121257/http://railwayman9419.fotopic.net/ |archivedate=2010-06-21 ))</ref>

On 17 August 2020 the Bradley open-cast mine, the last [[coal mine]] in England, was closed.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/aug/16/one-of-uk-last-coal-mines-to-close-near-durham-bradley|title=One of England's last coalmines to close near Durham|website=[[TheGuardian.com]]|date=16 August 2020))</ref>
