More about this scene
Six miles from Durham and twelve miles from Darlington, Ferryhill was only a hamlet until the development of Dean & Chapter Colliery. With the colliery came rows of miners' housing, such as those in Stephenson Street, Bessemer Street, Rennie Street, Davy Street, and Newton Street. By the eve of the Great War there were about 49,000 tied miners' houses in the county housing 260,000 people, or 20 per cent of the county's population.
