HERRINGTON (West), a township in Houghton-leSpring parish, Durham; on the river Wear, 1½ mile W of Middle Herrington. Acres, 969. Real property, £1, 601. Pop. in 1851, 344; in 1861, 752. Houses, 155. The increase of pop. arose from the extension of coalmining, which led to the erection of a number of cottages, constituting the village of New Herrington. Limestone and building stone are quarried. There is a church, which was built in 1840; and the township is a chapelry, united with the p. curacy of Newbottle, in the diocese of Durham. Post town, Fence Houses.
