The village centre of Ushaw Moor

This is the junction of Cockhouse Lane with Durham Road in the centre of the village. Whitehouse Lane leads north up the middle of the picture. Ushaw Moor was founded in the mid 19th century as a colliery village. The pit closed in 1960. The village has survived better than most in the area, and still has a pub and plenty of shops.
