About Northlea

Northlea forms part of County Durham's former coalfield, clustered with Westlea, Eastlea and neighbouring pit villages just inland from the North Sea. The A19 provides the main route north to Newcastle (20km) and south to Sunderland, whilst the A182 heads east to Seaham's coast. Most journeys are local hops between the closely-packed communities or short runs to Sunderland and Durham city. The preserved Pithead Baths at Elemore Auto Parts and the still-operating Gibson Street Baths showcase the area's industrial heritage.
