Welcome to Ferryhill Town Council
This website is provided free of charge with the help of a local volunteer in line with the Town Councils objective of providing value for money services. The site is provided to inform people of the many activities in which the Town Council is involved, to help them understand how the Council works and what services are provided by the two Councils which currently operate in our area.
We also wish to keep everyone as up to date as possible with the latest local news and activities.
There is a section dedicated to non-council organisations and activities, which operate in the Town, including links to other web sites.
Ferryhill is situated in the heart of County Durham, 7 miles south of Durham City and 11 miles north of Darlington. It is a town with a long history, originally being a small agricultural village, with a forest for the Bishop of Durham to hunt in. With the introduction of the railways and the development of coal mining, the population rose dramatically to approximately 11,600 from 3,000. Despite the demise of coal mining, the Town retains this population and is a centre for many of the outlying villages, especially on Fridays when the weekly market is held.
