From the Wikipedia article
High Westwood is an English village in County Durham, a few miles to the north of Consett, near Ebchester and Hamsterley. It once had a colliery and coke works. Westwood colliery began operation in the 1870s and was owned by Consett Iron Company. It ceased operations in 1964. With the closure of the colliery in 1964 the miners' houses at High Westwood were demolished when they became vacant. Those houses at Allendale Cottages were to be used by the council for housing but they too were to be demolished. By 1972 demolition of the houses was practically complete.
