TOW-LAW, a village in Wolsingham and Brancepeth parishes, Durham; on the Bishop-Auckland and Carrhouse railway, 3 miles ENE of Wolsingham. It stands on an eminence, with a commanding view; it originated in iron-works, begun in 1844; it occupies ground on which previously were only a farmhouse and a small hostelry; it is now populous and prosperous; and it has a post-office‡ under Darlington, a r. station with telegraph, and three dissenting chapels.
