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,[citation needed] another County Durham village. In the 1930s the mines in the area went into liquidation, and the village was demolished in 1938.[citation needed]
Present-day maps retain the name for the handful of houses around the junction of the A68 and Inkerman Road.[1]
