Looking west along the main street in New Herrington
View along the B1286 in the centre of the former mining village. The terraced row on the right is Fenton Terrace dating from the late 19th century. This area was the original settlement of New Herrington in the mid 19th century. Fenton Terrace and the streets behind it were added a few years later to cater for the miners for the expanding colliery.
