About

Annfield Plain is a former mining village located in the Derwent Valley of County Durham. The area's layout and architecture are strongly defined by its industrial past, with terraced housing built for colliery workers. The landscape is marked by the presence of former pit sites and the rolling terrain leading towards the North Pennines. Its community facilities are centred along the main road that runs through the settlement.

The area is part of the wider Stanley town area. A local landmark is the Victorian-era Annfield Plain Athletic football ground, which has been a focal point for generations. The surrounding greenery of the Derwent Walk Country Park, following a former railway line, provides accessible paths into the wider valley. This blend of post-industrial heritage and natural corridor shapes the ward's current character.
