About

Murton North & Parkside is a residential area in Murton, County Durham, in north-east England. The neighbourhood grew around the coal industry in the 19th and 20th centuries, and traces of that history remain in the street pattern and local place names. Housing ranges from former pit terraces to post-war council estates and later private developments. Local facilities include a primary school, a community centre, a convenience shop and a pub, with bus services linking the area to other parts of County Durham.

Former mining ground sits at the edge of the neighbourhood and has been reused for open space and footpaths; an accessible ridge formed by colliery spoil provides a local route used for walking and dog exercise. Community groups run allotments and sports pitches on former industrial land, and small patches of planted woodland separate residential blocks from these green areas. Daily life in Murton North & Parkside is shaped by those local services and by the pattern of streets laid out during the village’s mining expansion.
