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.

Open space on Front Street, Dipton
This open area in the centre of the village is used as a playing field. The gap in the built up area gives great views to the NW across the Derwent Valley. The building on the right is Dipton Manor Care Home, which was built recently on the site of the old Bute Arms pub.

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.
