The economy, which Brancepeth Colliery dominated, is analyzed. Willington's social conditions, housing and sanitation were all heavily affected by the village's rapid industrialization. The social forces of the village — Straker and Love (the colliery owners), religious groups, class groups and ethnic groups each tried to mould Willington into a certain shape.

  • WHITWORTH PARK HISTORY Why 1841?
    WHITWORTH PARK HISTORY Why 1841? Spennymoor was not a town at the beginning of the Victorian era. The area that was to become a town of 16,000 people by 1901, when Queen Victoria died, was made up of three agricultural townships. Whitworth and Old Park both lying west of the Valley Burn and Tudhoe to its east. All of Whitworth township was owned by Robert Eden Duncombe Shafto. In the 1830s he leased some of his land to the Durham County Coal Company for a colliery and some miners’ houses. The development of Whitworth Colliery and the miners’ houses, known then as New Spennymoor and later, in 1851, as New Whitworth, coincided with the Census of 1841. This has recently been published by the National Archives and is the first Census where it is possible to identify individual people, their families and where they lived. 1841 is also the earliest time when we can compare one Census with another and means that work by the Tudhoe & Spennymoor Local History Society on the 1851 Census published in 1994 can be updated. The 1841 Census gives us a a snapshot of the birth of Spennymoor in the year that the Byers Green branch of the Clarence railway first operated and Whitworth Colliery drew its first coals. In that year there where 647 people in the three townships. As the table below shows, most workers were employed in agriculture and there were more servants than coalminers. Why “the Jordan” and why “Jerusalem”? James Dodd, who recorded the history of early Spennymoor over a century ago, has given us the title for this exhibition and book.
