This is a view looking south along Cedar Avenue, the main road through the village. Kimblesworth is one of a group of former colliery villages to the north of Durham city, mostly created in the second half of the 19th century with the expansion of the mining industry. The old village terraced streets in this village were mostly demolished in the 1950's and 60's and replaced by the modern housing seen here.
