Welcome to Trimdon Colliery

Trimdon Colliery is a former coal mining village located in County Durham, England. The village was established in the 19th century and was home to a thriving coal mining industry. The colliery was one of the largest employers in the area, and many families relied on the industry for their livelihoods. The village was also home to a number of shops, pubs, and other amenities that served the needs of the local community.

The colliery was closed in 1985, and the village has since undergone significant changes. Many of the former mining buildings have been demolished, and the area has been redeveloped for residential use. Despite these changes, the village still retains much of its character and history. The Trimdon Colliery Heritage Group has worked to preserve the village's history and promote its heritage, and there are a number of events and activities that take place throughout the year to celebrate the area's mining heritage.

Today, Trimdon Colliery is a quiet, residential village that is home to a close-knit community. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there are a number of walking and cycling routes that allow visitors to explore the area. The village is also well-connected to the rest of the region, with good transport links to nearby towns and cities. Overall, Trimdon Colliery is a fascinating place to visit for anyone interested in the history of the coal mining industry in the UK.
