In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Plessey like this:
PLESSEY, a ville in Stannington parish, Northumberland; on the river Blyth and the North eastern railway, 5 miles S S E of Morpeth. It has a station on the railway; and it figures in many ancient deeds and records. P. Hall was formerly the seat of the Plesseyfamily, but is now a farm-house; and P. Mill was connected with St. Bartholomew's monastery in Newcastle.
Plessey is now part of NORTHUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTHUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Plessey itself, go to Statistics.
