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.

View along Stone Row
This street forms the western edge of the ex-mining village of Grange Villa. It is also the original street in the village, dating from the late C19. As the name states, these are stone built miners cottages. The rest of the village, dating from the Edwardian era at the start of the C20, is brick built. This terrace is notable for all the tidy front gardens too.

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.
