Trimdon & Fishburn

About

Trimdon and Fishburn are neighbouring former mining villages situated in east County Durham. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland and scattered woodland, with the distinct silhouette of Trimdon Wind Farm visible on the horizon. Residential streets built to house colliery workers radiate from central greens and community facilities.

The area's industrial heritage is a quiet, pervasive presence. The villages are connected by the A177, which follows the route of a former railway line. At the heart of Trimdon, the parish church of St Mary Magdalene stands on a site with origins dating back to the 12th century, a historical counterpoint to the more recent past.
