Wild flower plot at Dipton
This is beside Front Street, towards the northern end of the village. I think this was once the site of the gas works. These wild flower meadows are becoming quite popular in this area of County Durham, and have a lot to recommend them. Once created, they only need cutting and raking once a year, and should be self seeding. Much nicer than sterile mowed grass.

Wild flowers on a vacant plot at Dipton
A little plot beside Front Street in Dipton. There used to be some old cottages here, and later it was an allotment garden, but is now unused. The flowers are weeds to some, and wild flowers to others.

Houses on Front Street, Dipton
Much of the former colliery village of Dipton dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as these houses probably do.

Looking along Front Street
View SW up Front Street, the main street which runs through the village. The short row opposite is Bowes Terrace, named after one of the principal coal owning families in this part of Co Durham. Dipton was a prime example of a colliery village back in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
