Old Quarrington
Old Quarrington is a hamlet in County Durham, located about half a mile east of Bowburn and a mile and a half west of Cassop. Quarrington Hill is located close-by, to the south-west. There is a row of houses to the west of Quarrington Farm. This was the location of Heugh Hall Colliery, which operated in up to the late 19th century.[1] There was also an extensive limestone and sandstone quarry which first opened in the 17th century.[2]
