Yeah, 70mph to my knowledge (i.e. national speed limit)? It's a dual carriageway - there's a dividing strip in between the roads (which both have two lanes). Signposted as national speed limit along the road.
A690 between Doxford Park and Durham is signposted as 50 and not national speed limit.
"The A1231 becomes a national speed limit dual carriageway 'Wessington Way' passing through the southern edge of Southwick, Castletown and Hylton Castle. To the south, the Hylton Riverside retail park is parallel to the road. Along this section a park and ride scheme operates on matchdays for visitors to the Stadium of Light."

"The national speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) on motorways, 70 mph (112 km/h) on dual carriageways, 60 mph (96 km/h) on single carriageways and generally 30 mph (48 km/h) in areas with street lighting (restricted roads)."
