Penshaw Village, 2 pubs and a church
Besides the Grey Horse, there is another pub half off the photo to the right. The Church of All Saints was originally erected in 1746.
The old village area is quite upmarket, but close by is a large housing estate originally constructed in the 1920s/1930s for coal miners.

The Country Park Inn
Previously under another name, it was renamed in 2004 because it overlooks Herrington Country Park (behind the photographer in this picture). The A183 Sunderland - Chester-le-Street road passes in front of the pub.

Entrance to Herrington Country Park
Herrington Country Park was opened in 2003 on the site of a former colliery and opencast mine. What was once an eyesore with a very large slagheap is being transformed (trees take time to grow!) into a large pleasant leisure area.
