  • At the heart of Durham's industrial heritage are its pit villages, some of which have grown into small towns, while others virtually disappeared under the county's notorious 'Category D' policy in the 1950s. We publish numerous maps of the Durham Pit Villages. Here is a selection, though many of the other maps in Durham, Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland include collieries. Work is currently underway on maps for Murton and Shotton Colliery.
