About

Bishop Auckland North and Coundon Grange is a ward on the northern edge of Bishop Auckland in County Durham. It includes post‑industrial neighbourhoods and stretches of housing built to serve 19th and early 20th century coal workings. Rows of terraced houses sit alongside later council estates and pockets of open space. Street patterns and property boundaries still reflect former pit entrances and wagonways in places, and small community allotments have been established on former backland. Local footpaths link the neighbourhoods to adjoining playing fields and pocket parks.

Local facilities include primary schools, convenience shops, community centres and sports pitches, with regular bus services connecting to Bishop Auckland town centre and to Durham. Employment is a mix of local retail and light industry, with many residents commuting to nearby towns. Planning and regeneration work has focused on improving housing and green infrastructure while retaining the area's industrial heritage; signs of that history appear in brickwork, street names and in occasional reclaimed mine features in hedgerows.
