Background

History

Despite being in a different county, the settlement around the Durham end of Croft bridge has sometimes been identified as part of Croft village, rather than with Hurworth-on-Tees immediately to the east. In 1834 Hurworth Place was described as a hamlet in the township of Hurworth, growing rapidly under the influence of the railhead and coal depot; As late as 1960, a long-time Croft resident referred to "the part of Croft which is called Hurworth Place". The village began to develop around the time the railway arrived in 1829, and in addition to a coal depot and goods yard, the low ground near the river housed at various times a tar works and two brick and tile works.
