Willington is a former 'pit village' of County Durham; South Street's south side terrace of houses is seen across a grassed open space. The monument, topped by an old coal mine tub commemorates the 'Rocking Strike' of 1863. It was unveiled on 19 March 1976 by Joe Gormley, the then president of the NUM.
