About

Firthmoor sits to the east of Darlington town centre in the borough of Darlington, County Durham. The neighbourhood grew mainly as a council estate in the mid-20th century, with residential streets clustered around Firthmoor Road. Housing is a mix of terraces, semi-detached houses and later infill development. Pockets of open space and small strips of trees break the street pattern, and local street names and road junctions give the area a clear, recognisable layout used by long-standing residents.

Local services focus on day-to-day needs: a primary school, a community centre and a parade of shops provide meeting points for residents. Sports pitches and play areas serve youth provision, and community groups use the centre for events and projects. Bus services link Firthmoor with Darlington town centre and rail connections beyond. The area is often described by people who live there through landmarks such as the community centre and the long run of Firthmoor Road that carries both local traffic and the daily rhythm of school runs and shopping trips.
