Lamedon Mill Court, Lemington
Lemington, Bell’s Close and Sugley were adjacent villages which developed in the nineteenth century around the new industries which took advantage of the coal and clay deposits as well as the nearby water transport on the River Tyne.
They were all part of the parish of Sugley. In the sixteenth century there was a Lamedon Mill and a Lamedon House and in 1638 the staithes at Lemendon are recorded. There was also a brickyard, tileshed, blacking factory and boatyard at Bell’s Close at this time.

Percy Pit Local Nature Reserve
Percy Pit lies between Newburn and Lemington. Much of the site is grassland, some cut short for recreational use, the remainder left long to encourage wildlife. Hadrians' Way, the walkway/cycleway runs along the southern boundary of Percy Pit just above the road. It was designated as a Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI) due to its grassland butterflies which include the Dingy Skipper.
