About

Catchgate and Dipton sit within County Durham’s former coalfield and grew up around 19th‑ and early‑20th‑century mining. The streets are lined with rows of former miners’ housing, interspersed with church buildings and a few civic buildings that once served pit communities. Local services include a primary school, a small parade of shops, community halls and public houses that remain focal points for residents. Several former industrial sites have been cleared or repurposed, and stone and brickwork from old pit structures can still be seen built into later walls and gardens.

The area is crossed by a network of public footpaths and short green corridors that follow the line of disused mineral railways and wagonways, linking housing areas to surrounding fields and allotments. Community groups organise events at the village halls and maintain small green spaces and sports pitches. Bus services provide connections to employment and facilities elsewhere in County Durham, while everyday life in Catchgate and Dipton is shaped by its mining heritage and the patterns of streets and footpaths laid out for that industry.
