Inkerman, County Durham
Inkerman was a village in County Durham, England.[1] Built in 1854–1855 a short distance to the north-west of Tow Law to house ironstone miners, it was named after the victorious Battle of Inkerman of the Crimean War, similarly to Balaclava, another County Durham village. In the 1930s the mines in the area went into liquidation, and the village was demolished in 1938.
