Junction of Linden Road with Garmonsway Road, West Cornforth
The village of West Cornforth dates from 1835, when a colliery was sunk to the west of old Cornforth village. This eastern part of the village is of course much more recent.

Stobbs Cross Lane entering West Cornforth
Stobbs Cross Lane heading west into the village passing a typical County Durham road sign in blue and yellow, naming it.
Note: The settlement at 'Cornforth' is in two contiguous parts... Cornforth and West Cornforth; they're named so on OS maps. The buildings ahead in the image are in West Cornforth yet the road sign names Cornforth! It might have been that the sign was planned to serve for both parts of the settlement but there's a similar reversal of sign and entry at NZ 3051 3445, where it's clearly Cornforth that is being entered, but the road sign reads West Cornforth. Have the signs have been erected in the wrong places? On the other hand, West Cornforth as named on OS maps is, if anything, more to the east of Cornforth! It could be that the OS has the names printed in misleading places.

View north from Middleham Road, West Cornforth
Like many villages in this part of Durham, Cornforth was built on the East Durham limestone plateau which runs to the east of Durham City. This accounts for the fine views on a clear day like this one.
