Old Shotton - Old Shotton Today

Old Shotton Today

Today, thanks to the redirection of the A19 in the 1970s, Old Shotton is now a quiet cul-de-sac. There are some 30 dwellings, most of which are post 1960s, and only about 10 which pre-date the 1950s. The village is home to two old pubs, the "Black Bull" and "The George". Nearby is Shotton Hall, home of Peterlee town council. Its ballroom is used for both private and public functions.
