CORRESPONDENT E Reynolds wrote an interesting letter regarding the origin of names of North-East towns and cities (HAS, Oct 17).
I am not sure how Darlington got its name, but I always tell my German friends it stems from the fact it has always been inhabited by funky darlings.
Christopher Wardell, Darlington.
