Seen from its junction with Pelton Lane, this is one of several similar streets of small terraced houses in this rural ex-mining settlement.

Grange Villa Working Men's Club
On Pelton Lane, the village main street. The club was once at the heart of all the mining villages in Co Durham, but many have shared the fate of village pubs and closed. Grange Villa's, happily, seems to be surviving.

Bottom of Stone Row, Grange Villa
This is the south end of the street, where it joins Pelton Lane, the main street through the village. Stone Row was the first street to be built here, for the miners of West Pelton Colliery in the fourth quarter of the C19. In the early years of the C20, it was joined by further rows of miners houses, these being brick built.

Front Street, Grange Villa
The blue and yellow sign explains that the District Council is working towards a better district - here in Grange Villa with a regeneration scheme of rejuvenation and traffic calming. The most obvious new features are the paving of the walkways, the many bollards and the period style street lighting.

Coronation Terrace, Grange Villa
This street must be named for the coronation of either Edward VII in 1902, or George V in 1911. I suspect it's the latter. The first houses in this old pit village were built in the 4th quarter of the C19, but most of the present village dates from the period between 1900 and the First World War. This view is along the main village street.

Satellite dishes
I am guessing that satellite is the only way of receiving digital TV in this small rural village. This is East Street, one of several similar terraces in Grange Villa.
