West Cornforth

West Cornforth is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated to the south of Cornforth, near the A1(M) motorway, Coxhoe, Ferryhill and Spennymoor. It is known locally as “Doggie” though the etymology of this name is uncertain. It may, however, relate to the fact that dog irons were made there at one time. In 2008, the village was awarded the 'Calor Village of the Year' in the young people's Northern category.[1] As of 2011, the village had a population of 2,501.[2]

The village dates back to 1857[3] and grew in size in conjunction with the local coal mine, Thrislington Colliery (now Thrislington Quarry), up until its closure in 1967.[4] It received rail service through West Cornforth railway station up until 1952.[5]
