About

Sacriston is a village and civil parish in County Durham, situated to the north of Durham city. The area was shaped by coal mining; Sacriston Colliery and associated workings dominated local employment for generations, and traces of that industry remain in the street pattern and reclaimed land around the village. Terraced housing built for miners lines many streets, and a memorial commemorating those who worked at the pit stands in the centre. Green spaces and former industrial slopes provide local walking routes and frame views back toward the village core.

The present-day community includes a primary school, shops on the main thoroughfare, a community centre and sports pitches used by clubs and groups. Regular bus services connect Sacriston with nearby towns and Durham for work and services. Local groups organise events that reflect the village’s mining heritage and community ties. Everyday life in Sacriston is rooted in these facilities and in the landscape left by its industrial past, with short walks from the housing into fields and reclaimed colliery ground.
