Killingworth Lake and George Stephenson High School
Image: © Oliver Dixon Taken: 23 Feb 2012
Around 1964, during the reclamation of the derelict pit sites, an attractive 6 hectare lake was created to the south of the centre of Killingworth new town. This is the eastern part, separated by a causeway (Southgate) from the main body of the lake. Across the water can be seen the striking modern buildings of George Stephenson High School, a specialist Humanities College.
