About

Esh Winning and Ushaw Moor lie along the River Deerness and are shaped by 19th-century coal mining. Rows of terraced houses, former pit yards and public footpaths follow the valley, giving a clear sense of the area’s industrial past. Local shops, a community hall and village green provide everyday services, while pedestrian routes run beside the river and through pockets of woodland that sit between built-up stretches. A rail‑line formation converted to a path is used by walkers and cyclists in the locality.

Ushaw Moor is immediately associated with the former Catholic seminary on its outskirts, a cluster of 19th‑century buildings arranged around courtyards and including a large chapel that is open for visits and events. Sports clubs and allotments occupy sites once connected to mining, and small pockets of reclaimed land show old spoil tips now planted with trees. Community groups operate from the village centres and maintain local history records that document pit life, chapel registers and maps of colliery workings.
