Description
"The village of Ferryhill lies seven miles to the south of Durham on the Old Great North Road (A167). It was a typical Durham mining village, and rows of miner's houses cover the hilltop. The steep hill leads to a long narrow market place with a Victorian town hall. The Town Hall which was built in 1867 on the site of old cottages provided for the poor and has been used over the years as a library and reading room but today houses the offices of the Town Council The oldest remains from the area all date to the Bronze Age, a period when there was a great period of expansion in early farming. A rough copper axe was found at Red Hall Farm....." -
