Cockerton is a suburb of Darlington, a town in County Durham, England. It is situated immediately to the north-west of Darlington town centre, close to Mowden, Branksome, West Park and Faverdale. The Cocker Beck, a small stream, runs through the area and empties into the town's River Skerne via a string of valleyed parks which were donated as recreational areas for the town in the early 20th century. This area, although not part of Cockerton, is adjacent to and socially linked to Cockerton, and is known as "The Denes".
Etymology
The -ton of Cockerton is from Old English tūn 'estate'; the cocker- element is less certain but seems to have been a Cumbric river-name, still represented as the name of the stream Cocker Beck.
Cockerton Village
The original village layout, known still as "Cockerton Village", remains recognisable. This is mainly due to the village green and surrounding houses and cottages being well preserved, with most rebuilding having been carried out with sympathy to the adjacent surroundings. The village is also largely covered by the Cockerton Conservation Area, which is managed by Darlington Borough Council.
