About Quaking Houses

Quaking Houses lies in County Durham between Stanley and South Moor, accessible via the A693 which connects to the A1(M) about 10 miles east. The A692 from Newcastle and direct routes from Gateshead both reach the village in 12-15 miles, whilst the A693 provides easy access to Consett westbound and Stanley eastbound. The village gets its distinctive name from historical ground subsidence caused by extensive coal mining, which once made local buildings shake and shift.
