About Fence Houses
Fence Houses rests in a landscape sculpted by the whispers of industry and the enduring spirit of the North East. It lies 1.7 km west of Houghton-le-Spring (from Houghton-le-Spring: bearing 266°T, OS grid NZ 323 499), and is situated north-west of Chilton Moor village. The air in Fence Houses often carries a faint, earthy scent, a lingering memory of the coal seams that once defined its very being, and beneath the open sky, the light can fall with a particular clarity, illuminating the sturdy brickwork of its homes. Though the deep shafts have long since been filled, the legacy of mining remains, a quiet strength that underpins the present. The village green, a modest expanse, offers a place for quiet contemplation, its grass worn smooth by generations who have walked its breadth, each step a silent story.
