About

Spennymoor East and Ferryhill West sit side by side in central County Durham, made up of residential streets, small industrial estates and town-centre shops. The area includes Spennymoor Town Hall and community venues that host markets, clubs and local services. The River Deerness runs close by and its valley shapes several green corridors and walking routes used by residents. Schools, a leisure centre and a cluster of independent traders form the daily focus for people who live here.

The local landscape and street pattern bear the imprint of the Durham coalfield: terraces of former miners’ housing, former pit sites and spoil heaps that have been levelled or repurposed. Old railway alignments now serve as footpaths and cycle links between neighbourhoods. Local bus routes connect the wards to nearby centres for work and shopping, while small business parks provide light manufacturing and logistics space. The combination of railway-era infrastructure and riverside corridors is visible in the layout of streets and public open spaces.
