Langley Moor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Langley Moor is a former mining village in County Durham, in England. It is between Brandon, Meadowfield and the Nevilles Cross area of Durham.

The village has a large park, previously known as Bents Park, now know as Holiday Park, with a children's play area and access to the River Browney.

The East Coast Main Line, one of Britain's arterial rail links, goes through the village.

There are three pubs in Langley Moor: the Station, the Lord Boyne hotel and the Langley Moor Hotel, in addition to a few independent retailers and a supermarket. It is home to Langley Moor Primary School and its sibling organisation, Langley Moor Nursery School. There is an industrial estate in the village, housing the factory of Harrison & Harrison organ builders among other companies.

There are up to ten buses an hour to Durham but also a few in the direction of Crook and the Durham Dales.
