Kibblesworth is a village surrounded by farmland yet within the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead. The village has seen coal mining for centuries but only in Victorian times did the industry become large scale; the mine there closed in 1974. It seems that the penalty of having a long name is that on road signs the word is split and hyphenated!
